It is not set speeches at the moment of battle that render soldiers brave.
“It is exceptional and difficult to find in one man all the qualities necessary for a great general.”
“What is history but a fable agreed upon?”
“Let the path be open to talent.”
“A man will go to war, fight and die for his country. But he won't get a bikini wax.”
“Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn the power of man.”
“Nonviolence of the strong is infinitely braver than their violence.”
“I never expect a soldier to think.”
“Ordinary men died, men of iron were taken prisoner: I only brought back with me men of bronze.”
“Many soldiers are led to faulty ideas of war by knowing too much about too little.”
