As God Once Said, And I Think

Rule 1, On Page I Of The Book Of War, Is: "do Not March On Moscow". Various People Have Tried It, Napoleon And Hitler, And It Is No Good. That Is The First Rule. I Do Not Know Whether Your Lordships Will Know Rule 2 Of War. It Is: "do Not Go Fighting With Your Land Armies In China". It Is A Vast Country, With No Clearly Defined Objectives...

On The Eve Of This Great Adventure I Send My Best Wishes To Every Soldier In The Allied Team. To Us Is Given The Honour Of Striking A Blow For Freedom Which Will Live In History; And In The Better Days That Lie Ahead Men Will Speak With Pride Of Our Doings.

The First Duty Of A Leader Is Opti­mism. How Does Your Sub­or­di­nate Feel After Meet­ing With You? Does He Feel Uplifted? If Not, You Are Not A Leader.

My Own Definition Of Leadership Is This: The Capacity And The Will To Rally Men And Women To A Common Purpose And The Character Which Inspires Confidence.

Let No Man Surrender So Long As He Is Unwounded And Can Fight.
