General George Catlett Marshall is widely accepted as this nation's most esteemed 20th century leader...Stateman as well as soldier, his character and accomplishments are so exceptional that he is regularly placed in the company of George Washington when parallels are sought." ~Colonel Charles F. Brower |
There are few men whose qualities of mind and character have impressed me so deeply as those of General Marshall ... He is a great American, but he is far more than that ... He has always fought victoriously against defeatism, discouragement and disillusion. Succeeding generations must not be allowed to forget his achievements and his example." ~ Winston Churchill |
I have been saying that ever since I first knew him well, that he, to me, has typified all that we call or look for in what we call an American Patriot... a true leader of Democracy" ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower (on George Marshall)
We were conscious of a great sense of excitement of the plan. Marshall was a great, great man--funny, odd but great--Olympian in his moral quality." ~ Charles P. Kindleberger |
The quiet power of the man lay in his utter selflessness. It lay in the dignity that emerges from every photograph you've ever seen in him. It lay in his hard work and his immense personal sacrifices. It lay in his compassion, wisdom." ~ Colin Powell |
