One of Sam's favorite quotes is:"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. (CS Lewis) Deep in the heart of every man is a desperate desire for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue. (John Eldredge) Terrorist acts can shake the foundation of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve. (President George W. Bush on 9/11) I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. (Abraham Lincoln) War is the ordinary man's most convenient means of escaping from the ordinary. (Philip Caputo) I felt bad for all the guys out there packing them...Expand for more
selves into gyms so that they could look the way that Calvin Klein or Tommy Hilfiger said they should. Is that what a real man is supposed to look like? (The Narrator) As I look back now, a lot of years later, I realize that my time in the military was one of the happiest times of my life. Not because I really liked the military, and God knows there was nothing to like about a war. But I liked it for the most selfish reason of all... because I was young. (unknown) When you're lost in the Wild, and you're scared as a child, And Death looks you bang in the eye, And you're sore as a boil, it’s according to Hoyle To cock your revolver and . . . die. But the Code of a Man says: "Fight all you can," And self-dissolution is barred. In hunger and woe, oh, it’s easy to blow . . . It’s the hell-served-for-breakfast that’s hard. "You're sick of the game!" Well, now that’s a shame. You're young and you're brave and you're bright. "You've had a raw deal!" I know — but don't squeal, Buck up, do your damnedest, and fight. It’s the plugging away that will win you the day, So don't be a piker, old pard! Just draw on your grit, it’s so easy to quit. It’s the keeping-your chin-up that’s hard. It’s easy to cry that you're beaten — and die; It’s easy to crawfish and crawl; But to fight and to fight when hope’s out of sight — Why that’s the best game of them all! And though you come out of each gruelling bout, All broken and battered and scarred, Just have one more try — it’s dead easy to die, It’s the keeping-on-living that’s hard. (Robert Service)".
