Success is that old ABC -- ability, breaks, and courage.
(Charles Luckman)
It infuriates me to be wrong when I know I'm right.
(Moliere)
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go
(Oscar Wilde)
Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is a process; working together is success.
(Henry Ford)
Weep, all ye little rains. Wail, winds, wail. All along, along, along The Colorado Trail.
(Carl Sandburg)
The unfailing formula for production of morale is patriotism, self-respect, discipline, and self?confidence within a military unit, joined with fair treatment and merited appreciation from without. It cannot be produced by pampering or coddling an army, and is not necessarily destroyed by hardship, danger, or even calamity. Though it can survive and develop in adversity that comes as an inescapable incident to service, it will quickly wither and die if soldiers come to believe themselves the victims of indifference or injustice on the part of their government, or of ignorance, personal ambition, or ineptitude on the part of their military leaders.
(GEN Douglas MacArthur)
But it was impossible to save the Great Republic. She was rotten to the heart. Lust of conquest had long ago done its work; trampling upon the helpless abroad had taught her, by a natural process, to endure with apathy the like at home; multitudes who had applauded the crushing of other peoples liberties, lived to suffer for their mistake in their own persons. The government was irrevocably in the hands of the prodigiously rich and their hangers-on; the suffrage was become a mere machine, which they used as they chose. There was no principle but commercialism, no patriotism but of the pocket.
(Mark Twain)
