Early in the current war we used that quote to stimulate out of the box thinking. Can you come up with any other quotes that have inspired you?

Mission first and people always.
Three that I really like
Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment
ABILITY is what your capable of doing, MOTIVATIONÂ determines what you do,
ATTITUDE determines how well you do it
My Favorite is – Make us all look good
“Leadership is Action, Not Position” Donald H. McGannon
Is this about the Universal Camouflage Pattern?
No, but you made me laugh
” If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error.”

“Smarter, not harder”
“Stupid is as stupid does”

“Violence is just a part of life, like fourth meal.”
And the one I always liked to say trying to get myself out of getting smoked
“I am a direct representation of my leadership” (after doing something stupid)
“Better you than me.” -“Animal Mother”-Adam Baldwin, “Full Metal Jacket”.
“We do not rise to the occasion, we fall to our level of training.”
“If its stupid and it works, its not stupid.”
“No plan survives first contact with the enemy.”
I also had a CO in the 82nd once who like to talk about “rigid flexibility.” What he meant was that we should always be ready, willing and able to flex to the changing demands of the tactical situation – or as he put it, to adhere rigidly (i.e., steadfastly) to the doctrine of being flexible. That operational philosophy has really stuck with me through the year’s.
“Mission Accomplished!” -George W. Bush
