Quotes I Like (I'll add more later):
"The world will never love us; they may respect us, they may even come to fear us. But they will never love us, for we have too much audacity." - Theodore Roosevelt, 1904
"It may be better to be a live jackel than a dead lion. But it is better still to be a live lion...and usually easier." - Lazarus Long
"Senium et perfidia mos victum juvenis et potestas". "Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill". unk
"Per is, vel in is". (With it or on it - refering to a warriors shield. An ancient corrolary to "Death before dishonor".

"Some people see things as they are and ask 'Why?' I dream of things that never were and ask 'Why Not?'" - Edward Kennedy, who attributed it to his brother Robert F. Kennedy
"I carry my adornment on my soul; I do not dress up like a Popinjay, but inwardly I keep my dainties. I do not bear with me by any chance an insult not yet washed away; a conscience yellow with unpurged bile; an honor frayed to rags; a set of scruples badly worn. I go caparisoned in gems unseen, trailing white plumes of Freedom garlanded with my good name. No figure of a Man, but a Soul clothed in shining armour, hung with deeds for decoration. Twirling thoughts, a bristling wit, and swinging at my side: Courage. And on the stones of this old town, making the sharp truth ring like golden spurs."
Cyrano de Bergerac
