"I must not fear, fear is the mind killer, fear is the little death that brings total
obliteration. I will face my fear, I will
permit it to pass over me & through me. And when it has gone past, I
will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where fear has gone, there will
be nothing. Only I will remain."-Frank Herbert "Dune"
"I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon if I can.
I seek opportunity not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled
and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated
risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter
incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed
existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia. I will
not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never
cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand
erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself; enjoy the benefits
of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, this I have done.
All this is what it means to be an American."
-Dean Alfange
"I was that which others did not want to be.
I went where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the
thought of eternal loneliness...... should I fail. I have seen the face
of terror; felt the stinging cold of fear; and enjoyed the sweet taste of
a moments love. I have cried, pained, and hoped........ But most of all,
I have lived times others would say were best forgotten. At least someday
I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was...........A SOLDIER."-Unknown
"On the plains of hesitation, lie the blackend bones of the countless millions
who at the dawn of victory sat down to rest, and in resting, died. DO NOT REST!"
-Unknown
"Those who are skilled in combat do not become angered, those who are skilled
at winning do not become afraid. Thus the wise win before they fight, while
the ignorant fight to win." -Zhuge
"That which does not kill us, makes us Stronger."-F. Neitzchi
"I have attempted to describe the intamacy of life in infantry battalions,
where the communion between men is as profound as any between lovers.
Acually, it is more so. It does not demand for its substance the reciprocity,
the pledges of affection, the endless reassurances required by the love of a
man and woman. It is, unlike marriage, a bond that cannot be broken by a
word, by bordom or divorce, or by anything other than death. sometimes even
that is not strong enough. Two friends of mine died trying to save the
corpses of their men from the battlefield. Such devotion, simple and
selfless, the sentiment of belonging to each other, was the one decent thing
we found in job otherwise notable for its monstrosities."
-Philip Caputo
