“Do not take counsel of your fears” General George Patton

“Fear is the mind killer” Bene Gessert maxim

How about, "Think before you act" or "Actions have consequences"?

So you dismiss wisdom because you mistake it for fear and advise us to ignore it?

I've never read that Patton threw men into the war machinery to be ground up for nothing. Quoting Patton out of context doesn't make you look smart or brave.
