Napoleon Bonaparte "Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily." "A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon." "He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat." "You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war." "Soldiers usually win the battles and generals get the credit for them." "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." "There are only two forces in the world, the sword and the spirit. In the long run the sword will always be conquered by the spirit." Edward Burke "All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing." General Omar Bradley "In war there is no prize for the runner-up." "Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living." George Gordon Byron "For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast, And breathed in the face of the foe as he pass'd; And the eyes of the sleepers wax'd deadly and chill, And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!"

Ralph Waldo Emerson "The real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war." "A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer."

All men have wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity. But when you have resolved to be great, abide by yourself, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself with the world. The heroic cannot be the common, nor the common the heroic." Albert Einstein "So long as there are men there will be wars."
