About

The education of a man is never complete until he dies. - Robert E. Lee
Sweat saves blood, blood saves lives, and brains saves both. - Erwin Rommel
Be an example to your men in your duty and in private life. Never spare yourself, and let the troops see that you don't in your endurance of fatigue and privation. Always be tactful and well-mannered, and teach your subordinates to be the same. Avoid excessive sharpness or harshness of voice, which usually indicates the man who has shortcomings of his own to hide. - Erwin Rommel
Mortal danger is an effective antidote for fixed ideas. - Erwin Rommel
There's only one proper way for a professional soldier to die: the last bullet of the last battle of the last war. - George S. Patton
If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking. - George S. Patton
Each man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy fighting beside him. We don't want yellow cowards in this Army. They should be killed off like rats. If not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. The brave men will breed more brave men. Kill off the Goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men. - George S. Patton
Wisdom is not additive; its maximum is that of the wisest man in a given group. - Robert A. Heinlein
The whole principle [of censorship] is wrong. It's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't have steak. - Robert A. Heinlein
I will accept the rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. - Robert A. Heinlein
A fake fortuneteller can be tolerated. But an authentic soothsayer should be shot on sight. - Robert A. Heinlein
God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent - it says so right here on the label. If you have a mind capable of believing all three of these divine attributes simultaneously, I have a wonderful bargain for you. No checks, please. Cash and in small bills. - Robert A. Heinlein
In a mature society, "civil servant" is semantically equal to "civil master." - Robert A. Heinlein
Never appeal to a man's "better nature." He may not have one. Invoking his self-interest gives you more leverage. - Robert A. Heinlein
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. - Robert A. Heinlein
If you don't like your job, you don't strike! You just go in every day, and do it really half assed. That's the American way! - Homer Simpson
Were we wrong? Did we make the wrong decision after all? I can't seem to remember when things started to take a turn for the worse. In the end it turned out like this. Still... - Gungrave
A man chooses. A slave obeys. - Andrew Ryan
Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? - Andrew Ryan
From hell's heart I stab at thee, for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee. Ye damned whale! - Captain Ahab

What am I? The ultimate loner forced to look at what might have been. Every day I look at it... - Leto
How persistent it is, this demand that our gods be perfect. The Greeks were much more reasonable about such things. - Leto
The defiling of a god is an ancient human tradition. Why should I be an exception? - Leto
Did you build high walls around you only to sit within them and indulge in self-pity? - Leto's Inner Voices
The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first. – Thomas Jefferson
Make yourself a sheep and the wolves will eat you. – Benjamin Franklin
The meek shall inherit the earth, a 6 foot plot above them. - Lazarus Long
The ways of God and government and girls are all mysterious, and it is not given to mortal man to understand them. - Lazarus Long
All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. - Edmund Burke
When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross. - Sinclair Lewis
Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business. I live by the golden rule: Treat others as you'd want them to treat you. The religious right wants to tell people how to live.
- Gov. Jesse Ventura
Give me a child for the first five years of his life and he will be mine forever. - Vladimir Lenin
Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich. - Napoleon Bonaparte
Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man. - Thomas Jefferson
Gods are fragile things; they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense. - Chapman Cohen
A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves. - Edward R. Murrow
There are times, however, and this is one of them, when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death? If making love might be fatal and if a cool spring breeze on any summer afternoon can turn a crystal blue lake into a puddle of black poison right in front of your eyes, there is not much left except TV and relentless masturbation. It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat s**t and die. - Hunter S. Thompson
You'd better take care of me, Lord...because if you don't you're going to have me on your hands. - Hunter S. Thompson
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. - Hunter S. Thompson
Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish—a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow—to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested . . . Res ipsa loquitur. Let the good times roll. - Hunter S. Thompson
We are turning into a nation of whimpering slaves to Fear—fear of war, fear of poverty, fear of random terrorism, fear of getting down-sized or fired because of the plunging economy, fear of getting evicted for bad debts or suddenly getting locked up in a military detention camp on vague charges of being a Terrorist sympathizer. - Hunter S. Thompson
If I followed my better instincts right now, I would put this typewriter in the Volvo and drive to the home of the nearest politician - any politician - and hurl the goddamn machine through his front window ..flush the bugger out with an act of lunatic violence then soak him down with mace and run him naked down Main Street in Aspen with a bell around his neck and black lumps all over his body from the jolts of a high-powered 'Bull Buster' cattle prod. - Hunter S. Thompson
Life has the name of life, but in reality it is death. - Heraclitus
You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep. - Navajo Proverb
If you chase two rabbits, you will not catch either one. - Russian Proverb
It is easy to stand a pain, but difficult to stand an itch. - Chang Ch'ao

Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth. - Ludwig Börne
Our greatest pretenses are built up not to hide the evil and the ugly in us, but our emptiness. The hardest thing to hide is something that is not there. - Eric Hoffer
Eggs cannot be unscrambled. - American Proverb
Admiration and familiarity are strangers. - George Sand
When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you. - Friedrich Nietzche
Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought. - Matsuo Basho
The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other in opposite directions. - George Carlin
It was true that I didn’t have much ambition, but there ought to be a place for people without ambition, I mean a better place than the one usually reserved. How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, s**t, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so? - Charles Bukowski
My job consists of basically masking my contempt for the assholes in charge, and, at least once a day, retiring to the men's room so I can jerk off while I fantasize about a life that doesn't so closely resemble Hell. - American Beauty
One of the saddest things is that the only thing that a man can do for eight hours a day, day after day, is work. You can't eat eight hours a day nor drink for eight hours a day nor make love for eight hours—all you can do for eight hours is work. Which is the reason why man makes himself and everybody else so miserable and unhappy. - William Faulkner
I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables—slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy s**t we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war . . . our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off. - Fight Club
You can't conquer a free man, the most you can do is kill him. - John Lyle
I'll give you my gun when you take it from my cold, dead hands! - NRA Slogan
That rifle on the wall of the labourer’s cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there. - George Orwell
If the America people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currencies, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their prosperity until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. - Thomas Jefferson
It’s better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. - Unknown
You cannot invade the American homeland. There is a rifle behind every blade of grass. - Admiral Yamamoto
