We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.
(Sir Winston Churchill)
One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.
(Helen Keller)
I know of no better reputation for an officer or noncommissioned officer to have with his men than he is a good manager and does not waste his soldiers’ time.
(GEN Bruce Clarke)
The man with the knapsack is never lost. No matter whither he may stray, his food and shelter are right with him, and home is wherever he may choose to stop.
(Horace Kephart)
Do not expect to get squad, platoon, company, battalion, brigade, division, or corps commanders as replacements who are fully trained. If such people are available in the replacement system, they will probably be promoted before they arrive. Plan to coach them as needed in your standards and way of doing things.
(GEN Bruce Clarke)
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects
(Robert Heinlein)
