I collect quotes. Here are a few:

First up, this one gives me chills every time I think of the story, it involves a college professor called to lead the 20th Main, a group of troops in the civil war, greatly outnumbered and out of ammo. To his troops he yelled........

"FIX BAYONETS!!!" - Joshua Chamberlain
Please, if you do not know this story you must read it.

"Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win." - Sun Tzu

"Civilize the mind but make savage the body." - Chairman Mao Zedong

And my favorite comes from my father, his father, his father's father etc.
"Boy, if you feel froggy......jump."
I'll probably say it to my son someday, more than once.

Good ones! By the way, I notice that you aren't sure where your signature line comes from:

"Not everyone who craps on you is your enemy, and not everyone who cleans it off is your friend." - Parable of unknown origin

That's from a movie with Henry Fonda, "My Name is Nobody". I just saw it the other day. The story was told by Terence Hill (who is Mr. Nobody) about a baby bird that fell out of its nest and lay on the cold ground peeping loudly. A passing cow felt sorry for it, raised its tail and deposited a steaming heap of dung on the little bird.

Well, it was warmer, but still not happy, so it continued to peep as loud as it could. This time, though, a coyote hears it, cleans the crap off the little bird...and eats it.

Hill said his daddy never told him what the moral of the story was and he'd never been able to figure it out for himself. Later in the movie, Henry Fonda writes to Hill and tells him:

"The moral of your story was this: Not everyone who craps on you means to do you harm, and not everyone who cleans you up means to do you good. Most of all, though, the moral is this: When you're up to your neck in sh1t, keep your mouth shut!"

My father was fond of saying, "When I tell you to move, all I want to see is a swirl of dust where you were."
He also said, out of ear shot of my mother, "Son you are a walking cluster****." When I came home on my first leave in 1957 I asked him where he got that saying from. He said it was from LTCol George S. Patton, Jr., on a calvary expercise riding and walking from Camp Knox, KY to Fort D. A. Russell, Cheyene, WY sometime in the 1920s. Patton would refer to a cadet as a riding cluster or imply that of a horse wrangler.
Enjoy the day,
Bill
