He who sweats more in training bleeds less in battle. - George S. Patton

No dumb bastard ever won a war by going out and dying for his country. He won it by making some other dumb bastard die for his country.

We promised the Europeans freedom. It would be worse than dishonorable not to see that they have it. This might mean war with the Russians, but what of it? They have no air force, and their gasoline and ammunition supplies are low. I've seen their miserable supply trains; mostly wagons drawn by beaten up old horses or oxen. I'll say this; the Third Army alone and with damned few casualties, could lick what is left of the Russians in six weeks. You mark my words. Don't ever forget them. Someday we will have to fight them and it will take six years and cost us six million lives.

Through the travail of the ages, Midst the pomp and toil of war, Have I fought and strove and perished Countless times upon this star. <p> In the form of many people In all panoplies of time Have I seen the luring vision Of the Victory Maid, sublime.
