Not really a quote, but one of favorite annecdotes.

Frederick the Great was marching his men through a town when he saw a cavalryman he had decorated for bravery on the gallows about to be excecuted.

"What did this man do? I personally decorated him for bravery!"
"He was found fornicating with his horse, Your Excellency"
"Well, for God's sake, TRANSFER HIM TO THE INFANTRY!"
