Friedrich Nietzsche:

It is my ambition to say in ten sentences; what others say in a whole book.

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

There are no facts, only interpretations.

Carl Von Clausewitz:

The aggressor is always peace-loving; he would prefer to take over our country unopposed.

Carl Gustav Jung:

Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

I thought everybody on this forum already knew about your site Redleg?

The Path of the Ritegous man is beset on all sides by the enequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.Blesed is he who in the name of charity and good will sheperds the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truley his brothers keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengence and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers AND YOU WILL KNOW MY NAME IS THE LORD WHEN I LAY ME VENGENCE UPON THEE.
----Ezekieal 25:17(according to Quentin Tarentino)

And sheperds we shall be for thee my lord for thee, power hath decened forth from thy hand to carry out swiftly thy comand. And we shall flow a river forth to thee and teeming with sould shall it ever be
-----Boondock Saints Prayer

I think I'm reviving a dead topic here, but one of my favorite quotes is from I believe a French army motto (sadly French, but nonetheless a good quote):

"Who dares, wins."

(My mistake, for some reason I was always udner the impresion this was a French motto. I dunno why. It's actually an SAS motto.)

It takes twenty years or more of peace to make a man; it takes only twenty seconds of war to destroy him. --Baudouin I, King of Belgium

Supposing truth is a woman, what then?

Another one my favorite Nietzsche qoutes. And oh the humor in this one thought when attempting to understand the oppisite gender.

It was Winston Churchill, I thought for a while it was Thucydides who stated that, but he didn't.
