I'll start

I know there are vast numbers of Jews serving with our Forces ... but it seems to me indeed appropriate that a special Jewish unit, a special unit of that race which has suffered indescribable torments from the Nazis, should be represented as a distinct formation amongst the forces gathered for the final overthrow.

Hint: date was 28 Sept. 1944

So what is the quote?




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Ok. You fooled me, no markings. I read that over and over, maybe I'm getting senile or something.

Any idea when Churchill said, or wrote, that?

I was wondering what the occasion might have been a speech, one if his prayer memos, etc.

Socrates


quote:
If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.

George Washington


quote:
The time for war has not yet come, but it will come, and that soon; and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard.

Stonewall Jackson


quote:
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

Buddha


quote:
Rat's Head, Ox's Neck

"Rat's head and ox's neck" means that, when we are fighting with the enemy and both he and we have become occupied with small points in an entangled spirit, we must always think of the Way of strategy as being both a rat's head and an ox's neck. Whenever we have become preoccupied with small detail, we must suddenly change into a large spirit, interchanging large with small.

This is one of the essences of strategy. It is necessary that the warrior think in this spirit in everyday life. You must not depart from this spirit in large-scale strategy nor in single combat.

Miyamoto Musashi

Perhaps my favorite quote from Go Rin no Sho


quote:
Donald Trump is a first-rate ass clown, but...

...at least he's giving both barrels to those Obama-loving commie fucks at NBC. It's refreshing to hear someone stand up to these phonies, and it's especially so when coming from someone with enough money to not give a shit.

Donald Trump calls NBC 'weak and foolish' after they sever ties with GOP hopeful

BTW, Barry, as a measure of just how badly you suck, you make Donald Trump look like Winston Churchill. Damn, playah. Best check yo self.
