Every man is scared in his first battle. If he says he's not, he's a liar. Some men are cowards but they fight the same as the brave men or they get the hell slammed out of them watching men fight who are just as scared as they are. The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared.
(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.
