By profession I am a soldier and take pride in that fact. But I am prouder -- infinitely prouder -- to be a father. A soldier destroys in order to build; the father only builds, never destroys. The one has the potentiality of death; the other embodies creation and life. And while the hordes of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still. It is my hope that my son, when I am gone, will remember me not from the battle field but in the home repeating with him our simple daily prayer, Our Father Who Art in Heaven.

In war, you win or lose, live or die - and the difference is just an eyelash.
|
The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself.
|
Part of the American dream is to live long and die young. Only those Americans who are willing to die for their country are fit to live.
|
I realize that advice is worth what it costs--that is, nothing.
