General Ulysses S. Grant, USA
In every battle, there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten; then he who continues the attack wins.
John Stuart Mill
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.
General Charles A. Gabriel, Chief of Staff, USAF
Integrity is the fundamental premise for military service in a free society. Without integrity, the moral pillars of our military strength, public trust, and self-respect are lost.
Father Denis E. O’Brien, Sergeant, USMC
It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag.
General Daniel S. “Chappie” James, USAF
The power of excellence is overwhelming. It is always in demand, and nobody cares about its color.
Major Lisa Jaster, USA
There’s no quitting, I can’t have quit in me. There was never an option to stop and quit.
General Norman Schwarzkopf
The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.
President Thomas Jefferson
He who permits himself to tell a lie once finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells a lie without attending to it, and truths without the world believing it.
General George C. Marshall
There is no limit to the good you can do if you don’t care who gets the credit.
