"Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests - we did.
But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!"

Have to love "Pattonisms"
"If everyone is thinking alike, someone isnt thinking"
"Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets. "
"A piece of spaghetti or a military unit can only be led from the front end."
"Americans play to win at all times. I wouldn't give a hoot and hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor ever lose a war. "
"Better to fight for something than live for nothing."
"I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom. "
"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived. "
"The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his. "
And finally, my favorite two quotes by George Patton.............
"I do not fear failure. I only fear the "slowing up" of the engine inside of me which is pounding, saying, "Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?"
"Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood. "
All of these are quotes I keep on my walls in my office at home.
I also have these from Douglas MacArthur
"You are remembered for the rules you break"
"We are not retreating - we are advancing in another direction"
"They died hard, those savage men - like wounded wolves at bay. They were filthy, and they were lousy, and they stunk. And I loved them. "
"There is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity"
"Part of the American dream is to live long and die young. Only those Americans who are willing to die for their country are fit to live. "
"No man is enitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation. "
"I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within. "
"Last, but by no means least, courage-moral courage, the courage of one's convictions, the courage to see things through. The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave."

"Just because something isn't true is no reason you can't believe in it. Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things that a man needs to believe in most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; that true love never dies. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in."

And finally this one. Its a little long for a "quote". I keep it on my corkboard at work so that when I start putting in 80 hour weeks and thinking its my job just because I said I'd take the position I have, I can remind myself there is more to life than making a living. Although if I had to pick one thing to make a quote of, it would be the last part.
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all, mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

I need to stop reading quotes and go to bed, but here's a nice little piece of PC history.
AUTHOR: Adlai Ewing Stevenson (1900–65)
QUOTATION: I cannot agree that it should be the declared public policy of Illinois that a cat visiting a neighbor’s yard or crossing the highways is a public nuisance. It is in the nature of cats to do a certain amount of unescorted roaming. Many live with their owners in apartments or other restricted premises, and I doubt if we want to make their every brief foray an opportunity for a small game hunt by zealous citizens—with traps or otherwise. I am afraid this Bill could only create discord, recrimination and enmity. Also consider the owner’s dilemma: To escort a cat abroad on a leash is against the nature of the cat, and to permit it to venture forth for exercise unattended into a night of new dangers is against the nature of the owner. Moreover, cats perform useful service, particularly in rural areas, in combating rodents—work they necessarily perform alone and without regard for property lines.
We are all interested in protecting certain varieties of birds. That cats destroy some birds, I well know, but I believe this legislation would further but little the worthy cause to which its proponents give such unselfish effort. The problem of cat versus bird is as old as time. If we attempt to resolve it by legislation who knows but what we may be called upon to take sides as well in the age old problems of dog versus cat, bird versus bird, or even bird versus worm. In my opinion, the State of Illinois and its local governing bodies already have enough to do without trying to control feline delinquency.
ATTRIBUTION: ADLAI E. STEVENSON, governor of Illinois, veto message, April 23, 1949.—The Papers of Adlai E. Stevenson, ed. Walter Johnson, vol. 3, pp. 73–74 (1973).
This was one of Stevenson’s first veto messages. “A small but devoted group of bird-lovers were able to have a bill introduced in the legislature designed to protect birds by restraining cats. In previous years it was passed by one house, only to be turned down by the other. In 1949 it passed both houses and the decision was finally shifted to the Governor. Stevenson’s message returning the measure became known as the ‘Cat Bill Veto’ and received widespread publicity, because of its wit and good humor. On April 27, 1949, the Chicago Daily News stated, Many Adlaiphiles immediately proclaimed it one of the noble pronouncements of our time, comparable to the boldest state documents from the pen of F.D.R. or Winston Churchill…. Mr. Stevenson did no *****footing on *****’s perambulations. He did not seek to make a cat’s paw out of the Supreme Court by citing decisions of dubious relevancy. He categorically assumed full responsibility for his momentous decision. He did not assert that the bill’s effort to restrict felines to lives of sedentary domesticity was a violation of the Constitution. He invoked a higher law—the law of Nature’” (pp. 72–73).

Because that was just what some guy said when he stepped out. The moment the lander actually touched down, on the other hand, was the first time a human touched another natural body in space. THAT was amazing.

Interesting side note about pepperboxs.
I have a black powder .22 pepperbox I bought in Spain. It has some neat engraved patterns on it and that's the main reason I bought it. Paid $50 Dang thing is heavy as can be and probably better for throwing or hitting someone over the head. Shot a board with it from about 5 feet away and the bullet bounced off and hit me between the eyes and bounced off there too. It felt like a hand thrown pebble. I'm lucky it didn't hit me in the eye, but that would be the only effective target for such a weapon.
I was using snipped off .22 leads lightly tapped into each barrel, so some lead was sheared off (to make a tight seal.) You'd probably have to have a special method or press to load it with round ball or full size .22 leads. I even tried .22 air gun pellets, but they didn't make a tight seal.
It was fun to shoot, despite it's shortcomings as a practical firearm. If you load it with enough black powder, a "ring fire" occurs where all six barrrels go off in rapid succession, about as fast as a semi auto.
Carry on.

-
on smooth bore black powder pistols your ball is generally .01-.015 under sized and loaded with a patch.
the rifled barrels they usually have a loading lever under the barrel that gives you enough leverage to shear a bit off of the slightly over sized ball you use in them.

leslie... peperboxes came in a lot of calibers up to as big as 54. Some were pretty powerful. they are basicly a revolver without a barrel and any blackpowder revolver suffered from the possibility of the dreaded chain fire... the way to avoid that is to pack the area above the ball with grease.

"Marines are about the most peculiar breed of human beings I have ever witnessed. They treat their service as if it were some kind of cult, plastering their emblem on almost everything they own, making themselves up to look like insane fanatics with haircuts to ungentlemanly lengths, worshipping their Commandant almost as if he were a god, and making weird animal noises like a band of savages. They'll fight like rabid dogs at the drop of a hat just for the sake of a little action, and are the cockiest sons of *****es I have ever known. Most have the foulest mouths and drink well beyond man's normal limits, but their high spirits and sense of brotherhood set them apart and, generally speaking, the United States Marines I've come in contact with are the most professional soldiers and the finest men I have ever had the pleasure to meet."

Why shouldn't I work for the N.S.A.? That's a tough one, but I'll give it a shot. Say I'm working at N.S.A. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break. So I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did my job well. But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East. Once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels were hiding and fifteen hundred people I never had a problem with get killed. Now the politicians are sayin', "Send in the marines to secure the area" 'cause they don't give a ****. It won't be their kid over there, gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number was called, 'cause they were pullin' a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some guy from Southie takin' shrapnel in the ass. And he comes home to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his bellybutton got his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks. Meanwhile my buddy from Southie realizes the only reason he was over there was so we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And of course the oil companies used the skirmish to scare up oil prices so they could turn a quick buck. A cute little ancillary benefit for them but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. And naturally they're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back, and maybe even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis and play slalom with the icebergs, and it ain't too long 'til he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic. So my buddy's out of work and he can't afford to drive, so he's got to walk to the job interviews, which sucks 'cause the shrapnel in his bellybutton is givin' him chronic hemorrhoids. And meanwhile he's starvin' 'cause every time he tries to get a bite to eat the only blue plate special they're servin' is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State. So what do I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. Why not just shoot my buddy, take his job and give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could be elected president. - Will Hunting, "Good Will Hunting"
Your "best"! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and **** the prom queen. - John Mason, "The Rock"
Well, I believe in the soul, the ****, the *****, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. - Crash Davis, "Bull Durham"
