Jack London

It is a sweet and seemly thing to die for one’s country.

The strongest of all warriors are these two – Time and Patience.

It is fatal to enter an war without the will to win it.

Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.

What use are cartridges in battle? I always carry chocolate instead.

Mine is the first generation able to contemplate the possibility that we may live our entire lives without going to war or sending our children to war.

Twice in my lifetime the long arm of destiny has reached across the oceans and involved the entire life and manhood of the United States in a deadly struggle.There was no use in saying We don’t want it; we won

I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.

War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can’t smile, grin. If you can’t grin, keep out of the way till you can.

We had 10 years after the Cold War to build a new world order and yet we squandered them. The United States cannot tolerate anyone acting independently. Every US president has to have a war.

I quietly declare war with the State, after my fashion, though I will still make use and get advantage of her as I can, as is usual in such cases.

In War: Resolution. In Defeat: Defiance. In Victory: Magnanimity. In Peace: Goodwill.

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.

After all the field of battle possesses many advantages over the drawing-room. There at least is no room for pretension or excessive ceremony, no shaking of hands or rubbing of noses, which make one doubt your sincerity, but hearty as well as hard hand-play. It at least exhibits one of the faces of humanity, the former only a mask.

Give me ten thousand Filipino soldiers and I will conquer the world.
