Notable quotes

“Developed and refined over two centuries, the Cadet Honor Code is a foundation for a lifelong commitment to doing what's right.”
— Frederick M. Franks Jr., USMA Class of 1959, Foreword to Honor Bright: History and Origins of the West Point Honor Code and System (West Point: Association of Graduates, United States Military Academy, 2009), p. x
“I don't know what West Point was like in 1998, when I was entering the Navy, but if I had to do it over again, it would be tempting to heed its call. I had always thought of West Point as a cold, sterile place, a gray-walled castle on a hill. But it's more modern, dynamic, and gritty than that, and its emphasis on preparing young warriors for ground combat will warm any special operator's heart.”
— Marcus Luttrell, Service: A Navy SEAL at War (New York: Little, Brown and Company, 2012), p. 339
“[You] have become a team. And you're going to be drawing upon each other for the rest of your lives.”
— Mark Milley, 20th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, address to the United States Military Academy's Class of 2022 at their graduation ceremony. As quoted by Terri Moon Cronk, West Point Graduates Are What Is Inherent in the U.S. Military, Milley Says, Defense.gov, 21 May 2022.
“While I was never over-romanced by the West Point graduate, at the same time, I always felt, by God, a West Pointer ought to be damn good.”
— George S. Patton IV, USMA Class of 1946, as quoted by Brian M. Sobel in The Fighting Pattons (1997), hardcover, p. 22
“The lessons of West Point are many, but the Academy has been the source of discipline, courage, and strength for many of its graduates in both peace and war since its founding in 1802.”
— George S. Patton IV, USMA Class of 1946, as quoted by Brian M. Sobel in The Fighting Pattons (1997), hardcover, p. 28
“It was one thing to decide to go to West Point, another to get there.”
— Maxwell D. Taylor, USMA Class of 1922, Swords and Plowshares (1972), p. 23
