Favorite Quotes
Here are some of mine:
The country that draws a broad line between its fighting men and its thinking men will find its fighting done by fools and its thinking done by cowards. Butler, General Sir William Francis A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him. Churchill, Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Don't talk to me about naval tradition. It's nothing but rum, sodomy and the lash. Churchill, Sir Winston Leonard Spencer The tragedy of war is that it uses man's best to do man's worst. Fosdick, Harry Emerson I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me. Patton, Jr, General George Smith What are some of yours?

 War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling, which thinks that nothing is worth war, is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. - John Stuart Mill ~ (1868)

Some of mine include:
"Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." - Winston Churchill "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." - George Orwell "Don't be somebody that everybody else wants to be...just be yourself." (don't have the source anymore) "Man is most dangerous when he has EVERYTHING to gain and NOTHING to lose..." - One of my sayings "Warriors believe in theirselves. Leaders believe in theirselves. Warriors become Leaders." - Warrior

A 5 minute conversation with the average voter is the best argument against Democracy.
