JFK: 'We do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.'
The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his." General George Patton (1885-1945) Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve... - George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the fields and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender! Churchill Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. (Napoleon Bonaparte) Killing one is a national tragedy, killing a milion is statistic. - Josef Stalin. Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill (1874-1965) Lady Astor to Churchill: Winston, if you were my husband I would flavour your coffee with poison. Churchill's comeback: Madam, if I were your husband, I should drink it. The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it. George Orwell (1903 - 1950) "Our biggest lie is not to hide what is bad and ugly, but our emptiness. Nothing is as difficult to hide as something that is not there." Eric Hoffer. "Hence, to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." - Szun Tsu "A POW is someone who tries to kill you and fails and then asks you not to kill him " Churchill The real problem is WHEN to make a decision, and not What the decision should be. - George C. Marshall Frederick the Great "He who defends everything defends nothing!" " Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of the men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory." - General George Smith Patton Jr. Pacifism is objectively pro-Fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me'. George Orwell "A man-of-war is the best ambassador." -Oliver Cromwell "A war put off is not a war avoided." - Charlton Heston "All warfare is based on deception." - Sun Tzu, The Art of War "In space, all warriors are cold warriors." - Chang "To have good soldiers, a nation must always be at war." -Napoleon "War is a matter of vital importance to the state." -Sun Tzu "War is an organized bore." -Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. "War is nothing but a duel on a larger scale." -Clausewitz "War is peace." - George Orwell's 1984 "War is...a trinity of violence, chance, and reason." -Clausewitz Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war! --Shakespeare In time of war the laws are silent. - Cicero 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. - John Stuart Mill ~ (1868) “The blow wherever struck, must, to be successful, be sudden and heavy.” Robert E. Lee “Do not forget your dogs of war, your big guns, which are the most-to- be respected arguments of the rights of kings.” Frederick the Great It is always proper to assume that the enemy will do what he should do.” Robert E. Lee “In forming the plan of a campaign, it is requisite to foresee everything the enemy may do, and to be prepared with the necessary means to counteract it.” Napoleon Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive one; it is the man and not the materials that count. -Mao Tse-tung The nation the forgets its defenders will itself be forgotten. -President Calvin Coolidge " Wij zijn niet tot u gekomen om u te bestraffen, maar om u op te beuren en te redden. Wij zullen u leeren deugdzame menschen en goede onderdanen te zijn" De ontroerende laatste woorden van J.H.A. Jacometti op de Grebbeberg: we zullen ze er wel even uitgooien en er met de blanke klewang op ingaan Jacobus van Speijk: Dan liever de lucht in... "The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer. |

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- for ever
- George Orwell's 1984 He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice. - Mark Twain

Heel veel van die voetballers-uitspraken vind ik machtig.
