I dislike death, however, there are some things I dislike more than death. Therefore, there are times when I will not avoid danger. --Mencius
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. --Winston Churchill
You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves. --Winston Churchill

The school of hard knocks is a good school, IF you graduate.
Dunno where it started, but it was a popular tagline:
"Bother!", said Pooh, as he chambered another round...
From my grandfather, after I helped him sneak his new brown-bagged bottle of JD past my grandmother, "Discretion is the better part of valor" Wonder who first uttered it?
"Beauty is only a light switch away", and "Go ugly, early!" - from my crew dawg travels
I have two books on my nightstand (actually, three, but my Caspian Officer's ACP is stashed inside the third), one is Sun Tzu's Art of War, and the other is The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain. Tons of quotes abound from Mr. Twain, but this one has been my recent favorite:
"I have achieved my seventy years in the usual way: by sticking strictly to a scheme of life which would kill anybody else."
I'm only halfway to his 70 years, but it's admirable...

"If we want to regain the respect of the world, we should begin by announcing that children have no business expressing opinions on anything except 'Do you have enough room in the toes?' " -Florence King
"The best way to keep women from having to abort rape-conceived babies is to increase the punishment for rape by placing much of it in the hands of women themselves.
All women should be allowed to own a gun simply by virtue of being female. A woman who prefers to conceal her gun in her handbag should be given a carry permit with no questions asked. A woman who is willing to wear her gun in a holster on the outermost layer of her clothing should be allowed to do so without having to bother with permits of any kind. In all cases it should be understood that an armed woman not only has a right to defend herself, but a responsibility to come to the aid of other women as well. The feminists want sisterhood? Sister, you've got it." -Florence King

"..but never ever Fear. Fear is for the enemy. Fear and Bullets."

From my old range master:
If they're good enough to shoot once they're good nuf to shoot again.
Two to the chest and one to the head will make any man forget his evil intentions.
From my Dad:
Son your aligator mouth is about to overload your mocking bird a**. (last time I ever bowed up towards him.)
Old partner:
Your mouth is either your best asset or your worst detriment.
And finally from a training captain.
Make no mistake about it that you go we go sh** only goes on in "Backdraft".
There's alot more I've heard but those seem to cover just about everything.
Best wishes Best luck Poacher.

When I was 16, I was convinced my father was the stupidest man on earth. When I was 26, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just ten years. - Mark Twain
No matter how bad the battle gets, there's always some guy on the other side who still has enough of a sense of humor to shoot you in the ass if you stick it up. - My former Drill Sergeant, 1972
Fate has denied us victory, but deemed us glorious immortality. - Robert E. Lee

I have probably 10-15 pages of GOOD RKBA quotes, these are some select ones.
"I'm Hiking, I'm hunting; I'm floating, I'm fishing." My Pa.
"The Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to prevent
the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping
their own arms." - Samuel Adams
"To disarm the people (is) the best and most effectual way to enslave
them..." - George Mason
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither
inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for
the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage
than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with
greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson
"The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until
they try to take it." -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 best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be
properly armed." - Alexander Hamilton

IF you're not willing to die for your rights/beliefs, don't try to take mine.

I also have a file of great quotes, many of which I've cut and pasted from this board. A few of my favorites are as follows:

some of my favorites:
The First Amendment is often inconvenient. But that is besides the point. Inconvenience does not absolve the government of its obligation to tolerate speech.
Justice Anthony Kennedy
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered. Lyndon Johnson
Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on. Churchill
Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio, replied: "You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
Albert Einstein
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." Richard Feynman
"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits." unknown
"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." Thomas Edison
"Obviously crime pays, or there'd be no crime." G. Gordon Liddy
%%
"If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem
as a nail." Abraham Maslow
"Diplomacy is the art of saying 'nice doggy' until you can find a rock." Will Rogers
Politicians are interested in people. Not that this is always a virtue, fleas are interested in dogs. P.J. O’Rourke
They’ve got us surrounded again, the poor bastards. Gen. Creighton Abrams
