"The lamp of war is kindled here,..." - Quote by Thomas Jefferson

“Experience having long taught me the reasonableness of mutual sacrifices of opinion among those who are to act together for any common object, and the expediency of doing what good we can; when we cannot do all we would wish.”

“In short I must confide in you to take such care of the men under you as an economical householder would of his own family, doingevery thing within himself as far as he can, and calling for as few supplies as possible. The less you depend for supplies from this quarter, the less you will be disappointed.”

“I am not myself apt to be alarmed at innovations recommended by reason. That dread belongs to those whose interests or prejudices shrink from the advance of truth and science.”

“I will not trust you, I, Nor longer stay in your curst company. Your hands than mine are quicker for a fray, My legs are longer though, to run away.”

“A man strikes you, make him bleed. He makes you bleed, you break his bones. He breaks your bones, kill him. Being hit is inevitable, strike back twice as hard.”

“Here's my strategy on the Cold War: we win, they lose.”

“It's not the violence of the few that scares me, it's the silence of the many”

“I will be happy to give my life to see some of these white devils die.”

“All violence, all that is dreary and repels, is not power, but the absence of power.”
