He who has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander.

One step forward in obedience is worth years of study about it.

This one step -- choosing a goal and sticking to it -- changes everything.
(Scott Reed)
If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living.

I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand.

We live in a world of precarious peace, a peace which is maintained only by U.S. strength. And to the extent that the U.S. appears to be weakened, peace is weakened. It is only the U.S. leadership of the Free World and U.S. power that safeguards an uneasy truce. During peace, the Army's primary mission is deterrence being so well trained, equipped, and led that no potential adversary would mistake our nation's ability and resolve to defend our interests.
(John Marsh, Jr.)
To carry out this program it is exigent that all friends of the wilderness ideal should unite. If they do not present the urgency of their viewpoint the other side will certainly capture popular support. Then it will only be a few years until the last escape from society will be barricaded. If that day arrives there will be countless souls born to live in strangulation, countless human beings who will be crushed under the artificial edifice raised by man. There is just one hope of repulsing the tyrannical ambition of civilization to conquer every niche on the whole earth. That hope is the organization of spirited people who will fight for the freedom of the wilderness.
