Tom teaches the strong to know when they are weak and the brave to face themselves when they are afraid. To be proud and unbowed in defeat yet humble and gentle in victory. And to master ourselves before we attempt to master others. And to learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep. Tom is the predominance of courage over timidity.

- General Douglas MacArthur, on the virtues of Tom.
