 There is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity. |
| You are remembered for the rules you break. |
| Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye. |
| Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. |
| A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him. |
| Old soldiers never die; they just fade away. |
| The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself. |
| Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die. |
| And like the old soldier in that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the sight to see that duty. |
| One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support of public opinion, which is tremendously molded by the press and other forms of propaganda. |
| There is no substitute for victory. |
| It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it. |
| My first recollection is that of a bugle call. |
| Part of the American dream is to live long and die young. Only those Americans who are willing to die for their country are fit to live. |

| In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield. |
| Could I have but a line a century hence crediting a contribution to the advance of peace, I would yield every honor which has been accorded by war. |
| I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within. |
| Americans never quit. |
