“One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support of public opinion, which is tremendously molded by the press and other forms of propaganda.”

Defensive strategy never has produced ultimate victory.

It points to no single instance where this end has justified that means, where appeasement has led to more than a sham peace. Like blackmail, it lays the basis for new and successively greater demands until, as in blackmail, violence becomes the only other alternative.

The chickens are coming home to roost, and you happen to have just moved into the chicken house.

Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.

Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.

Even when opportunity knocks, a man still has to get up off his seat and open the door.

For those to whom much is given, much is required. It is not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up. There is no substitute for victory.

I realize that advice is worth what it costs–that is, nothing.

From the Far East I send you one single thought, one sole idea – written in red on every beachhead from Australia to Tokyo – “There is no substitute for victory!”

I see that the flagpole still stands. Have your troops hoist the colors to its peak, and let no enemy ever haul them down.

Wars are caused by unprotected wealth.

The scale and grandeur of the Russian effort mark it as the greatest military achievement in all history.

Once war is forced upon us, there is no alternative than to apply every available means to bring it to a swift end. War’s very object is victory-not prolonged indecision.

No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation.

The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave.

The soldier, above all other men, is required to perform the highest act of religious offering-sacrifice. In battle and in the face of danger and death he discloses those divine attributes which his amke gave when he created in his own image.

I am composed of contradictions, which is why poetry is a better form for me than philosophy.

What really decides consumers to buy or not to buy is the content of your advertising, not its form.

There’s something to be said for going back to a simple form of living-nature and family. There’s something very there’s safety in that.

No emotion, any more than a wave, can long retain its own individual form.

A constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages is a form of gay bashing and it would do nothing at all to protect traditional marriages.

Organized religions in general, in my opinion, are dying forms.

My nervous energy is usually the easiest form of energy to tap into.

As to the mental essence, we find it in infants devoid of every mental form.
