A stiff cock has no conscience.
More Churchill:
Lady Astor: “Winston, if I were your wife I’d put poison in your coffee.”
Winston: “Nancy, if I were your husband I’d drink it.”
It is no use saying, ‘We are doing our best.’ You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.
I like a man who grins when he fights.
"Never give in–never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.‘’
Don’t know if this was him, getting heckled by some pimply-faced youth during a speech
“We all admire a manly man, and everyone loves a girly girl, but I do so hate a boily boy”.
“We the people…”

i dont know if Gandhi did say it, but i imagine it would be something he’d say. superficially, Gandhi was non-violent; but the truth is that Gandhi was virtuous, and virtue cannot be faked. hence, the reason why “It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.”

During the Persian wars, in ancient Greece, the Persian empire attacked Greece. The Persians army was HUGE compared to the Greeks’. A Greek scout reported back to his army that the Persians had so many archers that their arrows would block out the sun. A Spartan soldier stepped forward and shouted “This is good news our scout brings us, we shall have our battle in the shade.”
(The Spartans moved boys into barracks at the age of 6 to begin military training. I don’t think they had a word for fear in their dialect.)

This is my body. And I can do whatever I want to it. I can push it, study it, tweak it, listen to it. Everybody wants to know what I’m on. What am I on? I’m on my bike busting my ass six hours a day. What are you on?

We are here to drink beer. We are here to laugh at the odds. We are here to live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.

At this battle, 300 Spartans held off a force of many Thousands of Persians by blocking a narrow mountain pass for days, which bought the rest of Greece the time it needed to mobilize to beat the Persians. The Spartans fought to the last man. This was the Battle of Thermoplyae, which is referred to in the last Battle scene in “The Last Sanurai.”

Check out “Gates of Fire” by Steven Pressfield. Great T-Man book.
Frank Miller’s graphic novel “300” is also excellent.

“Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant “If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven.” Such is the rule of honor.” - Lamb Of God “Omerta”

My father (who lost his arm in a trucking accident) and I were in a bar in Florida. I was about 13. Anyway, a guy started slapping his wife around. My dad, not a shy person, told him to stop. The guy saw my dad had one arm and said, “What can you do?” My dad stood up, headed for the guy and said, “I’ll show you what I can do!”
Those old D-Day vets! Once you’ve seen Hell, nothing scares you.
