The following are quotes from a WWII leader. Who said these things?

"Sweat saves blood, blood saves lives, and brains saves both."

"Mortal danger is an effective antidote for fixed ideas."

"The best form of welfare for the troops is first-rate training."

"Don't fight a battle if you don't gain anything by winning."

"In a man-to-man fight, the winner is he who has one more round in his magazine."

"Courage which goes against military expediency is stupidity, or, if it is insisted upon by a commander, irresponsibility."

"In the absence of orders, find something and kill it."

Referring to Italians: "Good troops, bad officers. But remember that without them we wouldn't have civilization."
