Given enough time, any man may master the physical. With enough knowledge, any man may become wise. It is the true warrior who can master both....and surpass the result.

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 Stewart Mill--

 

A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living.

 

--John F. Kennedy--

 

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

 

--George Patton--

 

The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave...

 

--Patrick Henry--

"There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change; it is, 'To use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wounds, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time.' " Gen. George S. Patton Jr.

Ka0ticSH aren't those from "The Prince." I am about a quarter of the way through it, it is the most recognized work of Machiavelli and also the reason his name is so wrongfully associated with deceitful politics. I have not read "Discourse on Livy" as of yet (though I do plan to) but, from my understanding it is a better representation of Machiavelli's beliefs in politics and more about Republic rule and self governing.

"Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft." - Pres. Theodore Roosevelt

"You don't have to like it, you just have to do it." - Captain Richard Marcinko, USN, Ret.

"Do more than what is required of you." - General George S. Patton
