I came here to kick ass and chew bubblegum...and I’m all out of bubblegum.
LOL
None from Stonewall Jackson? Hmmmmm.
I personally like Patton’s comments on war over Curtis Lemay’s:
“No poor bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making other bastards die for their country.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I wont.”
“The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.”
Dying ain’t much a way of making a living, boy. Outlaw Jose Wales
Best fictional manly quote, IMO:
Aragorn's speech at the Black Gate:
Aragorn: Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!
Great Quotes.
But Roger Bannister was not an American.
Let’s roll still gives me chills. That day could have been much worse.
War means fighting, and fighting means killing.
— General Nathan Bedford Forrest
Boys, do you hear that musketry and that artillery? It means that our friends are falling by the hundreds at the hands of the enemy, and here we are guarding a damned creek! Let’s go and help them. What do you say?
— General Nathan Bedford Forrest
“I ended the war a horse ahead.”
General Nathan Bedford Forrest who had 30 horses shot from under him
Don’t forget one of Obama’s famous lines.....”FORE”
That one about being surrounded, wasn’t something like it said in the Civil War?
Sorry to nitpick, but Roger Bannister was from England. Not that his wasn’t a great quote.
I feel this post is a micro-aggression and racist since almost all the quotes are from dead white guys....
Somebody get me my Teddy bear.... /s
Later
Yes, but from the voice of Donald Trump
“Somebody get me my Teddy bear.... /s”
Remember, the “Teddy bear” was named after the guy in #23 above, who had a small - and real - bear stuffed for fun. Yes, the Teddy bear was invented by a now-dead white guy.
(Yes, saw the /s, like to run with ideas at face value.)
Honorable mention: my tagline.
Lee Iacocca was known to have said “If you can’t lead or follow then get the hell out of the way.”
