"A smart man only believes half of what he hears, a wise man knows which half."--Jeff Cooper

"I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, I won't be laid a hand upon, I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them. Most men, regardless of cause or need, blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't." -John Wayne from "The Shootist"

"There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities; it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future, or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain."
G'Kar quoting from the book of G'Quan  


"I think it's better to have ideas. You can change an idea. Changing a belief is trickier."-Rufus, Dogma

Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.
-- Hippocrates 


 "The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."- Jeff Cooper

  “I know that it's easier to look at death than it is to look at pain, because while death is irrevocable, and the grief will lessen in time, pain is too often merely relentless and irreversible.” ― Robert Goolrick

"Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense."- Sir Winston Churchill
