Hilarious. I was reading these others from presidents, Sun Tzu, Bruce lee, then I read yours. I didn't expect that one.

GREAT Line. Too few people remember that.

" A true warrior must only take care that his spirit is never broken." --

When someone promised to give fighting roosters that would die in combat, the Spartan replied:

'Don't give those, but let me have ones that kill in combat'.

Lykurgus, ancient Sparta.

“The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.” 

                                                                                                                                                                                                --- Benjamin Franklin

 

 

"Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than the excitement of battle or the fear of death"

“We the unwilling, led by the unknowing are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.” ~~ Anonymous

"This is my shield

I bear it before me into battle,

but it is not mine alone.

It protects my brother on my left.

It protects my city.

I will never let my brother out of its shadow,

nor my city out of its shelter.

I will die with my shield before me, facing the enemy."

"When a warrior fights not for himself, but for his brothers, when his most passionately sought goal is neither glory nor his own life's preservation, but to spend his substance for them, his comrades, not to abandon them, not to prove unworthy of them, then his heart truly has achieved contempt for death, and with that he transcends himself and his actions touch the sublime. That is why the true warrior cannot speak of battle save to his brothers who have been there with him. The truth is too holy, too sacred for words."

- Gates Of Fire (Steven Pressfield)

  Somewhere a true believer is training with one goal in mind... To kill you...  Will you be ready when you meet?
