90 percent of my time is spent on 10 percent of the world.

I don't think we handled the aftermath of the fall of Baghdad as well as we might have. But that's now history.

Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.

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