A twist off of a Mother Theresa quote... we say it a lot in the Marines and I'm sure other services use it too but come on now... we all know who gets the short end of the stick when it comes time to divvy out the budgets!

Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.
Mark Twain

What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself.
Mark Twain

Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
Albert Einstein

Little men with little minds and little imaginations go through life in little ruts, smugly resisting all changes which would jar their little worlds.

Men are pigs. Too bad we own everything.
Tim Allen

Women now have choices. They can be married, not married, have a job, not have a job, be married with children, unmarried with children. Men have the same choice we've always had: work, or prison.

General Norman Schwarzkopf said:

Courage brother, do not stumble, though thy path be dark as night: There is a star to guide the humble, trust in God, and do the right. Let the road be dark and dreary and its end far out of sight. Face it bravely, strong or weary. Trust God, and do

General Patton's Principles of Leadership said:

COMMAND AND MANAGEMENT

1. Commanders must lead and they must have the authority to match their responsibility.

2. Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men.

3. Leaders always protect their followers first.

4. Leaders always do what they ask their followers to do.

5. Leaders select people for leadership positions based on accomplishment and not affection.

6. Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.

GOALS AND PLANNING

7. Do not go to war when you gain nothing by winning.

8. No one is thinking if everyone is thinking alike.

9. Always, have something in reserve.

10. Good tactics can save even the worst strategy. Bad tactics will destroy even the best strategy.

ATTAINING OBJECTIVES

10. The mission is all-important. Standard rules and policies can wait.

11. A pint of sweat will save a gallon of blood.

12. Communications must be quick and effective.

13. In landing operations, retreat is impossible; to surrender is as ignoble as it is foolish. Above all else, remember that we as attackers have the initiative; we know exactly what we are going to do, while the enemy is ignorant of our intentions and can only parry our blows. We must retain this tremendous advantage by always attacking rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously, and without rest.

14. A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.

DECISION MAKING

15. Have all of the facts! You must have the facts!

16. Know what you know and what you do not know!

17. Grab them by the nose and kick them in the pants.

18. Be timely with your decisions, never too early or too late.

19. You cannot make good decisions while you are sitting in a swivel chair. Get out and get up front.

20. You are never beaten until you admit it.

LIFE

21. By perseverance, study and eternal desire, any man can become great.

22. Success is how far you bounce after you hit bottom.

23. Live for something rather than die for nothing.
