“Physically there is nothing to distinguish human society from the farm-yard except that children are more troublesome and costly than chickens and calves and that men and women are not so completely enslaved as farm stock.”

“In war, the moral is to the physical as three is to one.”

“I treat policies like war. I hoodwink one flank so as to trounce the other. In my family we kneel only to God.”

“When a dog is chasing after you, whistle for him.”

“The Army (considering the irritable state it is in, its suffering and composition) is a dangerous instrument to play with.”

“A wasteful defense is a weak defense.”

“In the military, we are also taught to only use one third of the available decision-making time, so that our subordinates have time to go through their own decision processes when they learn what we want them to do.”
