"As for the enemies of freedom, those who are potential adversaries, they will be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it; we will not surrender for it--now or ever." -Ronald Reagan.

"America must win this war. Therefore, I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost, as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone." - Martin Treptow

"It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry

"Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous states have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old." - Winston Churchill

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too." - JFK

"The world is terrible," said Mark tonelessly. "And some are drawn down into it and drown there, and some rise above and carry others with them."
~ Lady Midnight, Cassandra Clare

"A gentle boy with a gentle soul, but every soul contains its own opposite, and the opposite of gentleness was ruthlessness—the beautiful wreckage of mercy."
~ Lady Midnight, Cassandra Clare

"You have your Laws and we have ours. The difference is only that we do not pretend ours are not cruel."
~ Lady Midnight, Cassandra Clare

"Where are you?"
"I'm in my office."
"I doubt that."
"And, uh, why is that?"
"Because if you were in your office, we'd be having this conversation face to face."

"I have more information, maybe you can come in. We can talk about it."
"..."
"Jason?"

[Søren]

I LOVE the Bourne movies, @Eulaliaaa!. Have you seen Jason Bourne? I really want to, I may gonna ly get my chance tomorrow. It'll be Jason Bourne or Star Trek Beyond.

[Eulaliaaa!]

I saw Star Trek Beyond yesterday, and it was good. Into Darkness was better. If you have the chance, go see Bourne. I haven't, but I really want to and I might be able to on Saturday or Sunday if my dad has time to take me. But I need to see the fourth movie first (I think it's called The Bourne Legacy?)

[Hickory]

Beyond isn't as good as the previous two.

Some extracts from really good movie speeches.

"We will be united in our common interest. Perhaps it's fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist, and should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice, 'We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on, we're going to survive.' Today we celebrate our independence day!" - President Whitmore Independence Day

"Aye, fight and you may die. Run and you'll live -- at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!!!" - William Wallace Braveheart

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
But it ain't about how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.. It's how much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done.
Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not point fingers and blame other people. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!" - Rocky Balboa Rocky Balboa

[Captain Tammo]

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." ~African Proverb

"To forget the dead is akin to killing them a second time." ~Elie Wiesel

"I learned to tell time based on how much flavor my gum lost. No clocks, no sun, just gum." ~not sure who said that, but I thought it was creative!

[Dotti Dillworthy]

Some John Green quotes:

"You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices."

"Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book."

[Søren]

"It's better to die saving lives than live taking them."
-James T. Kirk

[Lord Daskar]

"Ares saves not the brave man but the coward."
