Military Quotes

Thomas Jefferson

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to 

succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with 

anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right, and part with 

him when he goes wrong.

Abraham Lincoln

Some of you young men think that war is all glamour and glory, 

but let me tell you, boys, it is all hell!

General William T. Sherman

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat…You ask,

what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea, and air. War with

all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war

against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable

catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I

can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs - Victory in

spite of all terrors - Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for

without victory there is no survival.

Winston Churchill

It is my earnest hope - indeed the hope of all mankind - that from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past, a world found upon faith and understanding, a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish for freedom, tolerance and justice.

General Douglas Mcarthur
