the senses, calls into action the will, perfects the physical constitution,
brings men into such swift and close collision in critical moments that man
measures man. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

aspires to victory should spare no pains to form his soldiers. And he
who hopes for success should fight on principle, not chance. - Vegetius (De
rei Militari)
It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it. - General Douglas
MacArthur
We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the
beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and
in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender. - Winston
Churchill
Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of
men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory. - General
George S. Patton
