In War Nothing Is Impossible,

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.

I Am Sure That If Every Leader Who Goes Into Battle Will Promise Himself That He Will Come Out Either A Conqueror Or A Corpse, He Is Sure To Win. There Is No Doubt Of That. Defeat Is Not Due To Losses But To The Destruction Of The Soul Of The Leaders-the 'live To Fight Another Day' Doctrine.

For Years I Have Been Accused Of Making Snap Judgments. Honestly, This Is Not The Case Because I Am A Profound Military Student And The Thoughts I Express, Perhaps Too Flippantly, Are The Result Of Years Of Thought And Study.

Unless You Do Your Best, The Day Will Come When, Tired And Hungry, You Will Halt Just Short Of The Goal You Were Ordered To Reach, And By Halting You Will Make Useless The Efforts And Deaths Of Thousands.

There Is No Such Thing As A Successful Defense.
