Chester Nimitz

"A fleet without vision is merely a collection of ships."

"The greatest enemies are not without but within—doubt and complacency."

"A man who serves something greater than himself finds purpose."

"In the final analysis, history judges by results, not intentions."

"A leader's true power lies in his ability to inspire others to lead."

"The sea offers no apologies for its indifference; neither should a commander."

"A well-led team can overcome any tactical disadvantage."

"The difference between success and failure is often the decision to continue."

"A man who understands his enemy's mind has already half-defeated him."
