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

Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valor, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar.

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go. Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.

You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves.

Make sure that the beer - four pints a week - goes to the troops under fire before any of the parties in the rear get a drop.

You must look at facts, because they look at you.

We must be very careful not to assign this deliverance the attributes of a victory. Wars are not won by evacuations
