We Can Complain Because Rose Bushes Have Thorns, or Rejoice Because Thorn Bushes Have Roses.
---- Abraham Lincoln

Duty, Honor, Country: Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying points: to build courage when courage seems to fail; to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith; to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.
----Douglas MacArthur

And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother;
-----William Shakespeare

A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
-----George S. Patton
