The avoidance of taxes is the only intellectual pursuit that still carries any reward.: John Maynard Keynes (1883 - 1946)
Very little is known about the War of 1812 because the Americans lost it.: Eric Nicol
.... You ask, What is our policy? I will say; "It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy." You ask, What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory - victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.: Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965), 1940, in his first address as the newly appointed Prime Minister.
[The U.S. victory in Gulf war was] a stirring victory for the forces of aggression.: Dan Quayle (1947 - ), 4/11/91 (reported in Esquire, 8/92)

No poor bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making other bastards die for their country.: General George Patton
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.: Dwight David Eisenhower, 1953
For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.: Charles Bukowski (1920 - 1994)
