Duty is the essence of manhood

If I do my full duty, the rest will take care of itself.

Do your duty as you see it, and damn the consequences.

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me.
