I love history.  Aside from the fact that it is enjoyable to learn about the incredible things that have happened in the short span of human history; there are incredible lessons and amazing wisdom that you can apply to your life and business.  History holds a lot of the answers that you seek in life.

With that said, I've pulled some of my favorite quotes the WWII battlefield that apply to entrepreneurship and want to share them with you.

1.) "…we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender…"  - Winston Churchill

2.)  "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."  - FDR

3.)  "If everyone is thinking alike, someone isn’t thinking."  - Gen George Patton

4.)  “Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely.”  - Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower

5.)  "Which would your men rather be, tired, or dead?  - German Gen Erwin Rommel

6.)  "First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.  Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.  Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.  Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.  - Pastor Martin Niemoller

7.)  “Nuts!”  - Army Brig. Gen. Anthony McAuliffe

He led the 101st Airborne Division during the Battle of the Bulge. The Americans were outnumbered, surrounded, and running short on supplies when a German delegation requested their surrender. McAuliffe was awoken with the news and sleepily responded “Nuts!” before heading to meet his staff who had to draft the formal response to the German commander.  The staff decided that the general’s initial response was better than anything they could write. While under siege and near constant attack, the paratroopers typed the following centered on a sheet of paper:

December 22, 1944 To the German Commander, N U T S ! The American Commander

8.)  "It is fatal to enter a war without the will to win it."  - Gen Douglas MacArthur

9.)  "Live for something rather than die for nothing."  - Gen George Patton

10.)  ​“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”  - Winston Churchill

Each of these quotes holds a great lesson and wisdom for entrepreneurs and business leaders in general.  Think on them and decide what they mean to you!
