Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw's speech quoted, "If you think I wasn't frightened, you are mistaken. I was terrified. If you show fear in front of men that you may be commanding, it doesn't matter whether they are soldiers. They are clerks. They are labourers. They are students. Once you show fear, you should quit."
