When a general complains of the morale of his troops, the time has come to look at his own.

George C. Marshall

Morale is good; troops are confident; leaders are capable.

John Abizaid

At training, I consider myself a bit of a morale booster. I take a pack of lollies just to boost the boys' morale. I see that as crucial. I try and be a good influence and keep a high energy.

Nick Cummins

It is good for the morale of the team when you see top players being brought in.

Gylfi Sigurdsson

War is not only a matter of equipment, artillery, group troops or air force; it is largely a matter of spirit, or morale.

Chiang Kai-shek

Well, it's true that you often kind of forget to see the person you're most intimate with, but occasionally I'll come to and sort of think, 'Oh my God! You're really, really good-looking! I'm embarrassed now! It's nice to occasionally have that flash.

Claire Danes

Every single war that you see go down is illegal. They're breaking the Geneva Convention, and they're breakin' all kinds of sh*t they ain't supposed to be. All these soldiers that's dyin', every talkin' about, "Support our troops, support our troops," yeah we support our troops, but what are they fightin' for? Let's support 'em for the right reason. Let's tell our troops the truth, and maybe they wouldn't be out there fightin' these wars, because there are a lot of these troops that don't even wanna be out there if you talk to them.

Prodigy

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

Douglas MacArthur

Nothing so comforts the military mind as the maxim of a great but dead general.

Barbara W. Tuchman

I think that in general it is a good plan occasionally to bear in mind the fact that people were in the habit of dreaming before there was such a thing as psychoanalysis.

Sigmund Freud

Morale is boosted to high highs by accomplishment. In fact, it can be demonstrated that production is the basis of morale.

L. Ron Hubbard

The guerrilla fighters should be required to go to bed and get up at fixed hours. Games that have no social function and that hurt the morale of the troops and the consumption of alcoholic drinks should both be prohibited.

Che Guevara

I think we should be very careful in our choice of putting out news which should not create a situation where the morale of our troops goes down.

Amarinder Singh

You want to know whether we're better off? I've got a little bumper sticker for you: Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive. Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive! Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive!
