A man is not measured by how much he can take and stand but by how fast he regains once fallen. - George S. Patton

There are three ways that men get what they want; by planning, by working, and by praying. Any great military operation takes careful planning, or thinking. Then you must have well-trained troops to carry it out: that's working. But between the plan and the operation there is always an unknown. That unknown spells defeat or victory, success or failure. It is the reaction of the actors to the ordeal when it actually comes. Some people call that getting the breaks; I call it God. God has His part, or margin in everything, That's where prayer comes in.

A good plan violently executed right now is far better than a perfect plan executed next week.

An active mind cannot exist in an inactive body.
