Quotes by Lord Moran

A man of character in peace is a man of courage in war.

Character... is a habit, the daily choice of right over wrong; it is a moral quality which grows to maturity in peace and is not suddenly developed on the outbreak of war.

Courage is a moral quality; it is not a chance gift of nature like an aptitude for games. It is a cold choice between two alternatives, the fixed resolve not to quit; an act of renunciation which must be made not once but many times by the power of the will. Courage is willpower.

Man's fate in battle is worked out before the war begins.

The first and last essential of an efficient soldier is character; without it he will not long endure the perils of modern war.
