We will mete out to the Germans the measure and more than the measure that they have meted out to us. We will have no truce or parley with you, or the grisly gang who work your wicked will. You do your worst and we will do our best.

Here is the answer which I will give to President Roosevelt. Put your confidence in us – give us your faith and your blessing and under Providence all will be well. We shall not fail or falter, we shall not weaken or tire – neither the sudden shock of battle nor the long drawn trails of vigilance or exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools and we will finish the job.

[N]ext time I go into the action - I shall command a hundred men - & possibly I may bring off some coup. Besides I shall have some other motive for taking chances than merely "love of adventure".

I like things to happen, and if they don’t happen I like to make them happen.

I never 'worry' about action, but only about inaction.
