But when you get a bit older, and I hate to use the word, quite a bit more established, people take more notice and conducting becomes a great deal easier. You don't have battles like you had before.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There were times that I needed to go to battle, but how I went to battle wasn't always the best way in.
The only thing that makes battle psychologically tolerable is the brotherhood among soldiers. You need each other to get by.
I don't want to fight old battles. I want to fight new ones.
You've got to stand up and do your own battles. My daddy taught me that a long time ago, that you fight your own battles. The only way to shut everybody up is to win.
Battle is an orgy of disorder.
In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it's more dangerous to lose than to win.
I don't like conflicts. I'm not a competitive person at heart. To be in the middle of turmoil is boring.
Combat is a piece of war. But war is a totalizing, uncivilized experience.
There is something about military history that fascinates me. You find that many battles have been lost by people with very good military background when they fought battles in a battleground they didn't understand. I have seen that in business, too. You have to look at a marketplace like a battle-ground.
Old age isn't a battle; old age is a massacre.
