George Patton:

• "Fixed fortifications are monuments to man's stupidity."

• "Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men."

• "There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change; it is, 'To use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wounds, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time.’ "

• "Maybe there are 5 000, maybe 10 000 Nazi bastards in their concrete foxholes before the Third Army. Now if Ike stops holding Monty's hand and gives me the supplies, I'll go through the Sigfried Line like shit through a goose."

• "The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his."

• "I'm going to Berlin to personally shoot that paper hanging son of a bitch."

• "We won't just shoot the bastard, but rip out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks."

• "We're going to murder those lousy Hun bastards by the bushel!"

• "Give me 10 days and I'll start a war with those God damn Reds and make it look like their fault. Then we can push the motherf****** back into Moscow where they belong!"

"When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe ."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical."
-- Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

“War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses. -Smedley Butler

Interesting statement by a two time Medal of Honor winner, and one of the most decorated Marines ever. It was too bad he was dogged by controversy for being tricked by unscrupulous people later in life. The man led an amazing life.

Smedley Butler, Audie Murphy, Chuck Yeager, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, the list goes on and on of great men that did great things only to have forces align against them in unscrupulous attempts to discredit and dishonor what they achieved.
