Default Who Said It ?

Who made these Military Quotes :


#1....Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.

#2...Live for something rather than die for nothing.

#3...Neither a wise nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.

#4...Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.

#5...No goog decision was ever made in a swivel chair.

#6...Only our individual faith in freedom can keep us free.

#7...Perpetual optimism is a force muliplier.

#8...The best morale exist when you never heard the word mentioned. When you hear it, it's usually lousy.

#9...The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.

#10...There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, learning from failure.

George Washington? Doesn't seem like something Patton would say, no cussing in any of them.

Post I was born on this man's birthday.

I was born on this man's birthday.
He was a president of the United States when I was a kid.
He also planned a great invasion.

Post If I hadn't been born on his birthday

If I hadn't been born on his birthday I probably won't be familiar with his quotes.
He was a brilliant man. One of the smartest presidents we've ever had as far as pure intelligence.

He makes Clinton look like a kindergartener.
