*'''''"Only in the Space Marines of the Legiones Astartes are courage and expertise perfectly blended. In other troops they are present in varying degrees and proportions, and many scholars have debated their relative merits.'''
:'''''For my own part, I come down on the side of courage. For courage can sometimes make a virtue of inexperience. I myself have commanded Imperial Guard troops whose [[whiteshield| probitor ]] units have achieved great things, because they were too inexperienced to realise that their goal was impossible."''''' (Leman Russ on the military use of Whiteshields, ''De Natura Belli, Book XIV''){{Fn|1}}
*'''''"There are those who undervalue the Penal Battalions. But they should consider this: should a man who has wronged the Emperor be allowed to wrong Him further? For each man executed is a man who can no longer serve, and to fail in service to the Emperor is the greatest of sins."''''' (''Meditations on Imperial Command, Book XXI''){{Fn|1}}
