Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the door of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.” Teddy Roosevelt

That's great. Very close to a Homer Simpson's quote - "Just because I don't care, doesn't mean I don't understand..." or another of his -

"We need to stop spending so much money... look at this bill... we're always paying for shots for Maggie for diseases she DOESN'T EVEN HAVE!"

And to add my favorite Churchill quote - "I drink to make other people more interesting."
