The story of the human race is war. Except for brief and precarious interludes, there has never been peace in the world; and before history began, murderous strife was universal and unending.

The salvation of the common people of every race and of every land from war or servitude must be established on solid foundations and must be guarded by the readiness of all men and women to die rather than submit to tyranny.

Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general the more he contributes in maneuver the less he demands in slaughter.

Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.

As we have triumphed, so we may be merciful; as we are strong, so we can afford to be generous.

In War: Resolution. In Defeat: Defiance. In Victory: Magnanimity. In Peace: Good Will.
