The first and last essential of an efficient soldier is character; without it he will not long endure the perils of modern war.

A man of character in peace is a man of courage in war.

Character... is a habit, the daily choice of right over wrong; it is a moral quality which grows to maturity in peace and is not suddenly developed on the outbreak of war.

Jokes in sitcoms only work when they're not conspicuous and they reveal character.

Fear even when morbid is not cowardice. That is the label we reserve for something that a man does. What passes through his mind is his own affair.

Man's fate in battle is worked out before the war begins.
