Blank cartridges should never be used against a mob, nor should a volley be fired over the heads of the mob even if there is little danger of hurting persons in the rear. Such things will be regarded as an admission of weakness, or an attempt to bluff, and may do more harm than good.

I came through and I shall return.

I suppose, in a way, this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters, I’ve done wearing it. When the time comes, it will be in this that I journey forth. What greater honor could come to an American, and a soldier?

You are remembered for the rules you break.

Training distinguishes an army from an armed mob.

There are some who, for varying reasons, would appease Red China. They are blind to history’s clear lesson, for history teaches with unmistakable emphasis that appeasement but begets new and bloodier war.

Let us pray that peace be now restored to the world, and that God will preserve it always.

The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It’s the age-old struggle: the roar of the crowd on the one side, and the voice of your conscience on the other.

Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons.

Youth is not entirely a time of life; it is a state of mind. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals.

Our threat is from the insidious forces working from within which have already so drastically altered the character of our free institutions – those institutions we proudly called the American way of life.

While Asia is commonly referred to as the Gateway to Europe, it is no less true that Europe is the Gateway to Asia, and the broad influence of the one cannot fail to have its impact upon the other.

I had learned one of the bitter lessons of life: never try to regain the past, the fire will have become ashes.

Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant funds demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real.

I tell you that the curse of God Almighty is on the saloon.

The Almighty can hardly be such a fool as the churches make out.

I have returned. By the grace of Almighty God, our forces stand again on Philippine soil.

If the ways of the Almighty are not humanly logical, it is not the fault of the Almighty but of the limitations of human logic.

To be able to thank Allah for a blessing is a blessing within itself.

I contact Allah the Holy the Merciful on a daily basis.

It’s the Power of the Almighty, the Splendor of Nature, and then you.

No matter what face he wears, Satan has one overmastering ambition, one burning desire-to dethrone the Almighty and to place himself upon the highest throne of the universe.
