There, fixed that for you.Dukenstein said:
The same day Oppy quoted the Bhagavad Gita, Kenneth Bainbridge made the real classic quote of the day, "Now we are all sons-of-bitches".
"This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say, "To-morrow is Saint Crispian."
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say, "These wounds I had on Crispian's day."
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words,
Harry the King, Bedford, and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."
The king of all motivational speeches.

1: "INCONCEIVABLE!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
2: "So there I was, screaming my head off, snatching up fistfuls of stones and earth and God knows what and hurling them at the ghost of a seventeenth-century psycho with great taste in clothes."
3: "But your Dead, you can't drink wine!"
"But I remember."
4: "If Anyone is going to eat her it's going to be me!"
5: "What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?"
"What do you mean? An African or European swallow?"
"Huh? I... I don't know that. AAAAHHH"
That's All I remember right now.

"In a world gone mad, only a lunatic is truly insane."~Homer Simpson

My favorite poem. (The only one I have memorized) Written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, Canadian Army, World War 1
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Sweat saves Blood"~Erwin Rommel
My rule is: If you meet the weakest vessel, attack; if it is a vessel equal to yours, attack; and if it is stronger than yours, also attack..."~Stepan Makarov
"If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it."~Marcus Aurelius
Not exact, but, "Hadrian built the wall so that the Scots could concentrate on their true enemy: The Scots."
"A Rat a day keeps the Plague away."~Random Peasant in Blackadder
Darling: Four verses! Four verses! I meant four verses! Look, I'm as British as Queen Victoria!
Blackadder: So your father's German, you're half-German and you married a German?!
Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam
I only have one that I can think of right now.
"One of these days, I'm just gonna get off this bus, and run into the forest, and never come back. And when I come back, I'll be the KNIFE MASTER!"
By who? Who knows. But it was circulated to me via a video done by Avenged Sevenfold's late drummer, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan.

"To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child-mind accepts and believes them,
and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after-years relieved of them."
Hypatia 370 - 415 CE
==================================
After Glow
I?d like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I?d like to leave an after glow of smiles when life is done,
I?d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and summer days.
I?d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun,
Of happy memories that I leave When life is done.

Carl Sagan:
From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest.
But for us it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar", every "supreme leader", every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there - on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It's been said that astronomy is a humbling, and, I might add, a character-building experience. To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

Anyway, props on having a damned good taste in films!
One from Rommel that I found amusing was: 'In a man-to-man fight, the winner is the one with one more bullet in his magazine.'
And Heinz Guderian actually drops a pearl of wisdom with: 'There are no desperate situations, only desperate people.'
