Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf

He has conferred on the practice of vacillation the aura of statesmanship.

We cannot quit when we are ahead, after we've won, and we certainly cannot quit when we're behind, after we've lost. We are addicted.

Stuart Walker

I believe that a man is the strongest soldier for daring to die unarmed.

Mahatma Gandhi
