• ""Speak softly and carry a big stick." Theodore Roosevelt "Some people are born great, others have greatness thrust upon them." Theodore Roosevelt "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." "Strike fast, strike hard, strike often" Admiral William F. "Bull" Halsey "Nobody dies a virgin because life fucks us all" Allyson Williams "Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will live it's whole life believing it's stupid." Albert Einstein "Her guiding light makes enemies wary, but they should worry most when the light fades." Garen, Might of Demacia "Know, that if the tables were turned, I would show you no mercy!" Veigar, the Tiny Master of Evil "I'll marry you. No matter what happens to you in the real world, I'll marry you. No matter what kind of sickness you have. Even if you can't walk or stand, or even if you can't have kids. I"ll still marry you. I'll always be by your side. The Yui I met here isn't fake. It's the real Yui. No matter where or how I meet you, I'll fall in love with you. If I can meet you again, against the 6 billion to 1 odds, and even if your body can't move. I'll marry you." Hinata Hideki, Angel Beats "I heard that when things were painful for her, she’d cover her ears with headphones and escape to the world of music. I tried it too. It was like everything was blown away. The vocals screamed for me. They grieved for me. The ones who put on the act of common sense were wrong. Those who cried were right. We, the lonely were more human. They screamed at the absurd, beat it down, and destroyed it. They saved me." Iwasawa Masami, Angel Beats "Our lives were real! Not a single moment of them were fake! Everyone lived the best they could! We carved those memories into ourselves! Memories of living as hard as we could! No matter what kind they were, they’re the life we led! Erasing them in the blink of an eye like that… Wasn't your life also real to you?!" Otonashi Yuzuru, Angel Beats "Even if we forget the faces of our friends, We will never forget the bonds that were carved into our souls." Otonashi Yuzuru, Angel Beats "If I lost my memories…and got a different personality…I might be able to. But then, what does it mean to be reborn? That isn't the life I had anymore. It’s someone else’s life. Everyone only gets to live life one time [Yuri places her hand on her chest.], and it’s right here. I only get it once. This is my life. I can’t entrust it to someone, I can’t steal a new one, I can’t force it on others, I can’t forget it or erase it. I can’t stomp over it, laugh on it, or beautify it! I can’t anything! I’d have to-I’d have to accept my one shot at life no matter how cruel, merciless, or unfair I thought it was! Sir, don’t you understand? That is why I must fight. I must keep on fighting! Because…because I can never…[Slams her hands on her desk.] accept that kind of life!" Yuri Nakamura, Angel Beats "If the King doesn't lead, how will he expect his subordinates to follow?" Lelouch Vi Britannia, Code Geass "Her breasts, so soft!" Hideki Motosuwa, Chobits "Their lives remind us that freedom is not bought cheaply." Ronald Reagan "The power to cause pain is the only power that matters. The power to kill and destroy. Because if you can't kill, then you are always subject to those who can. And nothing, and no one, will ever save you." "I'm not one to speak with poetry, but your body is an ocean and the waves are closing in on me." "Never accept defeat just because you get knocked down.

May I play to the beat of your heart and let loose a melody of laughs and smiles?" "If you have ever stopped at a red light, you are an atheist; because you're not counting on God to not drive that fucking semi into the side of your fucking car. You are counting on common sense and logic. If you've ever taken a pill; if you've ever used science; if you've ever puttin' a splint on, instead of having God save you; you, motherfucker, are an atheist. End of story." Penn Jillete "I'm fairly certain "YOLO" is just "Carpe Diem" for stupid people." Jack Black "Two camels and a tiny car" RWJ "Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you."

Veteran, Full Metal Alchemist "This would be the best of all possible worlds if there were no religion in it." John Adams "Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man." Thomas Jefferson "I have found most christian dogma unintelligible." Benjamin Franklin "The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the christian religion."

Isaac Asimov "Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." Albert Einstein "Love is a lot like a Pokémon. You're going to get a starter, and it's going to mean a lot to you. But throughout the game, you'll run into plenty of other Pokémon. Some you'll use a Pokéball to catch, and others, you'll use a Great Ball or even an Ultra Ball. You're going to run into a couple rare Pokémon and even a few legendary. You might catch them, and you might not, but no matter what you do; you save your Master Ball. Save your Master Ball for that one Pokémon, that one that is truly legendary." The Soldier's Creed: I am an American Soldier I am a warrior and a member of a team I serve the people of the United States and live the army values I WILL ALWAYS PLACE THE MISSION FIRST I WILL NEVER ACCEPT DEFEAT I WILL NEVER QUIT I WILL NEVER LEAVE A FALLEN COMRADE I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills. I always maintain my arms, my equipment, and myself. I am an expert and I am professional. I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the united States of America in close combat. I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life. I am an American Soldier! "Infantrymen have a pride and arrogance that most Americans don’t understand and don’t like. Even soldiers who aren’t infantrymen don’t understand. The pride doesn't exist because we have a job that’s physically impressive. It certainly doesn’t exist because it takes a higher level of intelligence to perform our duties. It’s sad and I hate to admit it, but any college student or high school grad can physically do what we do. It’s not THAT demanding and doesn't take a physical anomaly. Nobody will ever be able to compare us to professional athletes or fitness models. And it doesn't take a very high IQ to read off serial numbers, pack bags according to a packing list, or know that incoming bullets have the right of way. The pride of the infantryman comes not from knowing that he’s doing a job that others can’t, but that he’s doing a job that others simply won’t. Many infantrymen haven’t seen a lot of combat. While that may sound ideal to the civilian or non-infantry soldier, it pains the grunt. We signed up to spit in the face of danger. To walk the line between life and death and live to do it again – or not. To come to terms with our own mortality and let others try to take our life instead of yours. We have raised our hands and said, “Take me, America. I am willing to kill for you. I am willing to sacrifice my limbs for you. I will come back to America scarred and disfigured for you. I will be the first to die for you.” That’s why the infantryman carries himself with pride and arrogance. He’s aware that America has lost respect for him. To many he’s a bloodthirsty animal. To others he’s too uneducated and stupid to get a regular job or go to college. Only he knows the truth. While there are few in America who claim to have respect for him, the infantryman returns from war with less fanfare than a first down in a high school football game. Yes, people hang up their “Support Our Troops” ribbons and on occasion thank us for our service. But in their eyes the infantryman can detect pity and shame; not respect. Consider this: How excited would you be to meet the average infantryman? Now compare that with how excited you’d be to meet a famous actor or professional sports player and you will find that you, too, are guilty of placing the wrong people on a pedestal. You wouldn't be able to tell me how many soldiers died in the war last month, but you’d damn sure be able to tell me if one of the actors from Twilight died. Yet the infantryman doesn’t complain about that. He continues to do his job; to volunteer his life for you, all while being paid less in four years than Tom Brady makes in one game. It’s a job most Americans don’t understand, don’t envy, and don’t respect. That is why we have pride for the infantry." "Demons run when a good man goes to war Night will come and drown the sun When a good man goes to war Friendship dies and true love lies Light will fall and the dark will rise When a good man goes to war Demons run but count the cost The battle is won but the child is lost""
