If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

Force has no place where there is need of skill.

Out of every 100 men, ten shouldn't even be there,
Eighty are just targets,
Nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle.
Ah, but the one,
One is a warrior,
And he will bring the others back.

There are no extraordinary men... just extraordinary circumstances that ordinary men are forced to deal with.

The power of example is very important to people under stress.

Success can not be administrated.

I do not fear an army of lions, if they are led by a lamb.
I do fear an army of sheep, if they are led by a lion.

The Soldiers of TF 2-7 Infantry rose to the occasion. All of the values their mothers and fathers and grandparents taught them, they learned. They stepped up to the plate. They did not just follow their leaders, they accompanied their leaders. Sometimes, they led the way! They said, 'Sir, the enemy’s over there, don’t worry, we’ll get you there!'

When in war, men must die, they can't be managed to their deaths, they must be lead.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.
