Best Quotes about Generals

1.
A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him.
Macarthur, Douglas

2.
Tell me what brand of whiskey that Grant drinks. I would like to send a barrel of it to my other generals.
Lincoln, Abraham

3.
The Creator has not thought proper to mark those in the forehead who are of stuff to make good generals. We are first, therefore, to seek them blindfold, and then let them learn the trade at the expense of great losses.
Jefferson, Thomas

4.
Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.
Macarthur, Douglas

5.
The best generals I have known were... stupid or absent-minded men. Not only does a good army commander not need any special qualities, on the contrary he needs the absence of the highest and best human attributes -- love, poetry, tenderness, and philosophic inquiring doubt. He should be limited, firmly convinced that what he is doing is very important (otherwise he will not have sufficient patience), and only then will he be a brave leader. God forbid that he should be humane, should love, or pity, or think of what is just and unjust.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

6.
The nearest the modern general or admiral comes to a small-arms encounter of any sort is at a duck hunt in the company of corporation executives at the retreat of Continental Motors, Inc.
Mills, C. Wright

7.
I think with the Romans, that the general of today should be a soldier tomorrow if necessary.
Jefferson, Thomas

8.
To a surprising extent the war-lords in shining armor, the apostles of the martial virtues, tend not to die fighting when the time comes. History is full of ignominious getaways by the great and famous.
Orwell, George

9.
Perfect soldier, perfect gentleman never gave offence to anyone not even the enemy.
Taylor, A. J. P.

10.
I made all my generals out of mud.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

11.
I am convinced that the best service a retired general can perform is to turn in his tongue along with his suit, and to mothball his opinions.
Bradley, Omar Nelson
