What is your favorite quote(s)? I have a couple of quote that I like, like this one:
"A brilliant man would find a way not to fight a war."-Isoroku Yamamoto
This guy was the one who planned on the Pearl Harbor attack, but he didn't want to. He thought there was a way out of this than going into a fierce battle of war and death, but he had no choice. Isoroku thought this was the only way before any horrible bad deaths would happen.
Another one is:
:...Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."-John F. Kennedy
My favorite president... I did alot of reports on him and this is one of the best quotes I've heard.
Now post some of your favorite quotes. :)
There are a lot of inspirational quotes throughout history, whether they be from times of change, war or hardships there are just some people who know exactly what should be said. This is a thread for sharing some of your personal favourites and discussing others, I'll start the ball rolling.
What General Weygand has called the Battle of France is over. I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be freed and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands.
But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new dark age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, This was their finest hour.
- Winston Churchill prior to the Battle of Britain.
