“A brave captain is a root, out of which as branches the courage of his soldiers doth spring.”
“Who can look for modestie and sobrietie in the souldiers, where the captaine is given to wine, or women, and spendeth his time in riot and excesse?”
“The captain, in the first place, is lord paramount. He stands no watch, comes and goes when he pleases, and is accountable to no one, and must be obeyed in everything.”
“The company is the true unit of discipline, and the captain is the company. A good captain makes a good company, and he should have the power to reward as well as punish. The fact that soldiers would naturally like to have a good fellow for their captain is the best reason why he should be appointed by the colonel, or by some superior authority, instead of being elected by the men.”
“There is no freer man alive than a captain of cavalry in command of his own troop.”
“The Captain had brushed his project aside in a way that captains have.”
