New quote that I heard today. Not sure who said it but its this:

"Si tibi pax, hui dum bellum." thats in latin, i may be a little off but in english it means this.

"If you want peace, then prepare for war."

Thats an awesome quote! :P

Nice quote I have heard it as well but can not remember who it was.

Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum

This is the exact quote.
It's from Flavius Vegetius Renatus book, "Epitoma Rei Militari"

And I agree, it's a great quote!
The Norwegian Army's Officer School has this as it's motto.

Thanks redleg for clearing it up.

Another great quote I heard today in U.S. history class is this one!!

This was said by 'Bull' Halsey as he pulled up on the U.S.S. Enterprise while staring at the destruction at Pearl Harbor.

"When this is confrontation is over, the Japanese language will only be spoken in Hell."

A medic said this to a wounded man when Easy Company in WWII was surrounded and outnumbered 2 to 1, by the Germans.

"They've got us surrounded -- the poor bastards."

I love that
