^^ cute Joan!
Long one:
"I divide my officers into four classes; the clever, the lazy, the industrious, and the stupid. Each and every officer posesses at least two of these qualities. Those who are clever and industrius are fit for the highest staff appointments. Use can be made of those who are stupid and lazy. The man who is clever and lazy is fit for the very highest command; for he has the nerves and temperment to deal with all situations. But whoever is stupid and industrious is a menace and must be removed immediately."
Note: The emphasis is mine....
it would be nice to know the origin of these quotes...
is the above eisenhower? i know i could google, but just a quick guess.
apparently, it's "German General Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord in Truppenführung, 1933"
source, and interesting article...
