"Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it."- George Bernard Shaw
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”- Teddy Roosevelt

Quotes of Horatio Nelson:-
There is no way of dealing with the Frenchman but to knock him down - to be civil to them is to be laughed at. Why they are enemies!
Firstly you must always implicitly obey orders, without attempting to form any opinion of your own regarding their propriety. Secondly, you must consider every man your enemy who speaks ill of your king; and thirdly you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil.
The Neapolitan officers did not lose much honour, for God knows they had not much to lose - but they lost all they had.
England expects that every man shall do his duty.
Thank God I have done my duty.
- 21 October 1805, while dying.

"Love all, trust a few, do harm to none."
Two of twenty or more quotes that were on the walls of the class of one of the best influences I've known. His personal quote:
"The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary man takes everything either as a blessing or a curse." (Carlos Casteneda)
" Ever tried? Ever failed?
No matter.
Try again. Fail again. Fail better."
Samuel Beckett
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt
"Under your climbing feet the stairs grow upwards"
