Angry in the Great White North

Some Patton quotes:

"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."

"All men are timid on entering any fight. Whether it is the first or the last fight, all of us are timid. Cowards are those who let their timidity get the better of their manhood."

"May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't."

"Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men."

"Magnificent! Compared to war all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance. God help me, I do love it so!"

An Eisenhower quote:

"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."

A Schwarzkopf quote:

"We need to destroy not attack, not damage, not surround. I want to destroy the Republican Guard"

MacArthur quotes:

"In war there is no substitute for victory."

"I have just returned from visiting the marines at the front, and there is not a finer fighting organization in the world!"

"You are remembered for the rules you break."

"It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it."

"In no other profession are the penalties for employing untrained personnel so appalling or so irrevocable as in the military."

A Bradley quote:

"In war there is no second prize for the runner-up."

Now some from Shakespeare:

"Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste death but once."

"Cry 'Havoc' and let slip the dogs of War."

"In peace nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility; but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger; stiffen the sinews, disguise fair nature with hard favored rage. . ."

And the eminently quotable Churchill:

"In critical and baffling situations, it is always best to return to first principle and simple action."

"Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities, because it is the quality that guarantees all others."

"A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him."

"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last."

"No folly is more costly than the folly of intolerant idealism."
