George C. Marshall

It is not enough to fight. It is the spirit which we bring to the fight that decides the issue. It is morale that wins the victory.

[On World War II:] We could not indulge in a Seven Years War. A king can perhaps do that, but you cannot have such a protracted struggle in a democracy in the face of mounting casualties.

Go right straight down the road, to do what is best, and to do it frankly and without evasion.
