A tribute to Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw

I am adding a few quotes of this legendary hero, one will continue to inspire billions of Indians for generations to come.

His Quotes:

Discipline is the code of conduct of decent living.

What is moral courage? It is the ability to distinguish right from wrong and having so distinguished it, be prepared to say so, irrespective of the views held by your superiors or subordinates and of consequence to yourself.

Any one who says he knows no fear, is either lying, or is a Gurkha!

To those of my commanders, who took an inordinately long time to come to a decision -I coined a Manekshawism “If you have to be a bloody fool, be one quickly.”

Officers, you have kept up the great tradition of the Indian Army... [pause] of having beautiful wives.

There are two things no honourable man should forget: His wife's birthday and the first name of the women around him
