When the day comes that nobody comes back from a war, it will be because a war has at last been properly executed by all parties involved.
"I want you boys to hurry up and whip these Germans so we can get out to the Pacific to kick the shiit out of the purple-pissing Japanese, before the Goddamned MARINES get all the credit!"
~Patton
"War is cruelty. There's no use trying to reform it, the crueler it is the sooner it will be over."
~WT Sherman
"I would define true courage to be a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to endure it (regardless)."
~WT Sherman
“Before we are through with them, the Japanese language will only be spoken in hell.”
~General Curtis Lemay - Strategic Air Command

~US Grant
“No other terms than unconditional and immediate surrender. I propose to move immediately upon your works.”
~US Grant
“I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution.”
~US Grant
“I have made it a rule of my life to trust a man long after other people gave him up, but I don't see how I can ever trust any human being again.”
~US Grant
“If you see the President, tell him from me that whatever happens there will be no turning back.”

“Nations, like individuals, are punished for their transgressions.”
~US Grant

~Gandalf
"It's the deep breath before the plunge."
~Gandalf
"So it begins, the great battle of our time"

"Men want to be like me, women want to be with me. You can't hang with me, you got nothing on me. I don't fear you...i fear no man that breathe's the same air as me!"

"You, my friend, have more outbursts than a Special ed student with terrets syndrome and an expired prescription plan."

"The reason the American Army does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the American Army practices it on a daily basis."
~from a post-war debriefing of a German General
"Everybody has a plan until they get hit in the mouth."
~Iron Mike Tyson
"The difficulty in understanding the Russian is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European, but an Asiatic, and therefore thinks deviously. We can no more understand a Russian than a Chinese or a Japanese, and from what I have seen of them, I have no particular desire to understand them except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them. In addition to his other amiable characteristics, the Russian has no regard for human life and they are all out sons-of-biitches, barbarians, and chronic drunks."
~General George S. Patton
"The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men."
~Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899).
"It seems to me a certainty that the fatalistic teachings of Mohammed and the utter degradation of the Arab woman are the outstanding causes for the arrested development of the Arab. He is exactly as he was around the year 700, while we have been developing."
~Gen. George S. Patton, Jr
“lies, damned lies, and statistics”
