After the war, they took Army dogs and rehabilitated them for civilian life. But they turned soldiers into civilians immediately, and let em sink or swim.

I'll tell you what bravery really is. Bravery is just determination to do a job that you know has to be done.

I never liked being called the 'most decorated' soldier. There were so many guys who should have gotten medals and never did-- guys who were killed.

No soldier ever really survives a war.

And freedom is what America means to the world.

Sometimes it takes more courage to get up and run than to stay. You either just do it or you don't. I got so scared the first day in combat I just decided to go along with it.

Now I have shed my first blood. I feel no qualms, no pride, no remorse. There is only a weary indifference that will follow me throughout the war.

They were singing in French, but the melody was freedom and any American could understand that.

I Knew why I felt at home. The spirit of freedom was hovering over that play yard as it did all over France at that time. A country was free again.

It's not easy to shed the idea that human life is sacred.

Let each man hear his own music and live by it. The drums roll one way for one man, and another way for another. You have to listen for your own.

Ignorance is bliss. Wisdom is blisters.

One morning, just like 9/11, there's going to be a disaster. I have yet to see the United Nations do anything effective with either Iran or North Korea.

What is life, but the gentle effacement of a tree shedding its leaves?

We bring nothing to God, and He gives us everything.

I am thinking of taking a fifth wife. Why not? Solomon had a thousand wives and he is a synonym for wisdom.

You were clearly not doing your part in the clover search, perv.

Print is the sharpest and the strongest weapon of our party.

Well, I can't (sing or dance). Actually, I sing like a seal and dance like your Uncle Leo at that wedding where he got up and went 'ya, ya, ya'.

I don't know, I just got a feeling about her. You know when a song comes on and you just gotta dance?

What Hath God Wrought.
