Bernard Montgomery

"I believe that every man has both strength and weakness within him."

"The test of a leader is whether he elevates those around him."

"I have found that the best strategies are often the most obvious ones."

"A good commander must balance confidence with humility."

"The soldier who fears nothing fears his own potential."

"I believe that victory is measured not in battles won but in lives saved."

"The greatest tragedy is the death of a young man before his time."

"I have learned that patience is often more powerful than force."

"In leadership, your reputation precedes you everywhere you go."

"The test of wisdom is the ability to see consequences before they occur."

"I believe that a man can be both tough and compassionate simultaneously."

"The greatest leaders are those who inspire without demanding."

"I have found that tradition can both strengthen and weaken an organization."

"A soldier's greatest strength is his belief in the justness of his cause."

"The most valuable lessons are often the most painful to learn."
