Generals Quotes

It is a fact that the Left routinely resists, then as now: Americans fought and died in Vietnam for freedom, just as they are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan today. Whatever mistakes generals and policymakers have made along the way cannot detract from that essential truth - which should be a part of any reliable history Picture Quote #1

We haven’t all had the good fortune to be ladies; we haven’t all been generals, or poets, or statesmen; but when the toast works down to the babies, we stand on common ground Picture Quote #1

There are no good wars or bad wars. The only thing bad about a war is to lose it. All wars have been fought for a so-called good Cause on both sides. But only the victor’s Cause becomes history’s Noble Cause. It’s not a matter of who is right or who is wrong, it’s a matter of who has the best generals and the better army! Picture Quote #1

All great sages are as despotic as generals, and as ungracious and indelicate as generals, because they are confident of their impunity Picture Quote #1

In any case, decisions on troop levels in the American system of government are not made by any general or set of generals but by the civilian leadership of the war effort Picture Quote #1

The great actors we had came from the actor-manager theaters. Not only did they create a team, they were the generals working with the soldiers Picture Quote #1

When Lincoln ran into trouble during the Civil War, he got new generals. He brought in Grant. I hope that President Obama will bring in some new generals on the financial front Picture Quote #1

It’s always the generals with the bloodiest records who are the first to shout what a hell it is. And it’s always the war widows who lead the Memorial Day parades Picture Quote #1

Immediately after taking office, I will ask my generals to present to me a plan within 30 days to defeat and destroy ISIS Picture Quote #1

Advertising people who ignore research are as dangerous as generals who ignore decodes of enemy signals Picture Quote #1

Those who have accomplished great things in the world have been, as a rule, bold, aggressive, and self-confident. They dared to step out from the crowd and act in an original way. They were not afraid to be generals Picture Quote #1

As president, I wouldn’t be making the day-to-day combat decisions. The job of the commander-in-chief is to lay the objective out and then you rely upon the generals and admirals and commanders to give you their expert advice on the tools needed to carry out that objective Picture Quote #1

Abraham Lincoln went through 12 generals before he got Ulysses S. Grant. He had never done a Civil War before Picture Quote #1

I worked for the troops my entire time in the United States Armed Forces because we know in the United States Armed Forces that it’s not the generals and the colonels that win battles, it’s the soldiers: it’s the people at the front, the mechanics with their wrenches, the drivers moving the logistics back in the rear Picture Quote #1

I have some strategical vision, I could calculate some few moves ahead and I have an intellect that is badly missed in the country which is run by generals and colonels Picture Quote #1

The episode of the ‘shoe bomber,’ Richard Reid, has suddenly meant more feet being bared at airports than at the average Hindu temple. My solution has been to replace my customary lace-up Oxfords with a pair of slip-on loafers when I fly. Generals are always fighting the last war, and security screeners are the same Picture Quote #1

I caddied for Dwight Eisenhower and Omar Bradley long before they became generals or president, for that matter. Just between you and me, Bradley tipped better than Eisenhower did Picture Quote #1

I’d like to have two armies: one for display with lovely guns, tanks, little soldiers, staffs, distinguished and doddering generals, and dear little regimental officers who would be deeply concerned over their general’s bowel movements or their colonel’s piles, an army that would be shown for a modest fee on every fairground in the country Picture Quote #1

Success in past U.S. conflicts has not been strictly the result of military leadership but rather the judgment of the president in choosing generals and setting broad strategy Picture Quote #1

Generals aren’t in the business of commenting on the correctness or incorrectness of the President’s decisions. Anybody who thinks he should be able to do that ought to be fired on the spot Picture Quote #1

A little unsure of himself in her presence, he always addressed her in questions, a habit common to parents, sovereigns, generals, and teachers Picture Quote #1

Refuse to accept the narrative of history laid down by presidents, prime ministers, generals and journalists Picture Quote #1

We need a program of psychosurgery for political control of our society. The purpose is physical control of the mind. Everyone who deviates from the given norm can be surgically mutilated... The individual may think that the most important reality is his own existence, but this is only his personal point of view. This lacks historical perspective. Man does not have the right to develop his own mind. This kind of liberal orientation has great appeal. We must electronically control the brain. Someday armies and generals will be controlled by electric stimulation of the brain Picture Quote #1

Not all living creatures die. An amoeba, for example, need never die; it need not even, like certain generals, fade away. It just divides and becomes two new amoebas Picture Quote #1

Good generals select intelligent officers, thoughtful advisors, and brave subordinates. They oversee their troops like a fierce tiger with wings Picture Quote #1

Generals do not always run wars the way they would like to, nor the troops under them Picture Quote #1

War coverage should be more than a parade of retired generals and retired government flacks posing as reporters Picture Quote #1

And the war rages on in a land called somewhere and generals order their men to kill and to fight for a cause theyve long ago forgotten while a little cloud weeps on the side of a hill Picture Quote #1

The rules are drawn up by lawyers who are trying to protect the admirals and generals from the politicians; they’re not written by people who are worried about the guys on the ground getting shot Picture Quote #1
