I'm not sure who wrote this, I believe it was the current CO of the USMC (I don't think he's called the CO of the USMC, I just can't think of the phrase right now) on his welcome speech.

"As old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back—
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.”

A promising future lies ahead and I am confident
that we are prepared for it, because we define our-selves
by balanced excellence in the way we train,
live, and, if need be, fight—as United States Marines.
Continue to encourage thinking and initiative. Emphasize
the primacy of the Marine and his rifle. Finally,
be inspired by the powerful sense of purpose
and belonging implicit in the words, “For the
strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of
the Wolf is the Pack.”

LMAO.... the first part is from Disneys Jungle book...

As old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back—
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

not sure about the rest

It's actually from "The Law of the Jungle" in "The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling (Later used by Disney)

Kiplings got a few good military quotes and poems:
