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.
(Speech to the Third Army, 1943)

Courage is fear holding on a minute longer. There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear. A pint of sweat will save a gallon of blood.
