General Zamir: [after giving orders to assassinate those responsible for Munich] Do you have any questions? Avner: So this isn't about guarding tourists on El Al jets? General Zamir: No questions? Did we mention how dangerous this is?
Patton: When we took Palermo they called me a hero, said I was the greatest general since Stonewall Jackson. General Omar N. Bradley: [looking at a newspaper and chuckling] And now they draw cartoons about you.
[deprived of his lightsaber, Obi-Wan kills General Grievous with the general's own blaster] Obi-Wan Kenobi: [throws the gun away] Uh! So uncivilized.
Trust the young. Young people have a lot to contribute, but generation after generation, those who reach power protect that power rather than teach others how to attain it. I resolved that if I ever became successful, I would trust the young.
One of the achievements of our generation of feminists was to emancipate women from the division between being interested in clothes and appearance, and being serious and ambitious. I am of the first generation that could go to Biba, wear miniskirts ...
My father belongs to the generation that fought the war in the 1940s. When I was a kid my father told me stories - not so many, but it meant a lot to me. I wanted to know what happened then, to my father's generation. It's a kind of inheritance, the ...
It was badly received by the generation to which it was first addressed, and the outpouring of angry nonsense to which it gave rise is sad to think upon. But the present generation will probably behave just as badly if another should arise, and infli...
Why should each generation be brought up on the selective prejudices of the one before it? I believe that this is exactly the point of history. And not just reading or studying history but also approaching it with a sceptical bent of mind. When each ...
General Munro: [after telling Korben about the mission] Any questions? Korben Dallas: Yeah. Just one. Why me? I retired six months ago. You remember? General Munro: Three reasons. One - as a member of the elite special forces unit of the Federated Ar...
Maj. General Roy Urqhart: When you first named me to this command, I told you I had never jumped before, but I felt I should at least give it a go. You told me, 'Roy, you're much too old and far too large for that sort of thing.' Well, I didn't tell ...
He looks a hell of a lot like me, only a fair bit older.
We had our thing. It is a really good memory but now we're older. Things change.
And that's that as you get older, you lose things, things you don't necessarily want to lose.
Tastes change, Cherie. I find the older I get the more I like to be reminded of my youth.
Absolution exists, call it Christian or whatever. It’s far older than any creed, and one of our blessings.
I realise I'm still a child, though I do feel older. I recently did an on-line test called 'What's Your True Age?' My result was 50-60 years old.
It's also very painful, because I feel, and I know, probably all women my age and older feel like we're better and have more to give and are more fun now.
I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get, the younger their new wives get.
When you are young, nothing is more important than football, but as you get older, you get married, have kids and lose people. Then you realise your family is more important. This comes with age.
I used to panic and get rattled when I was young, but as I've got older, I've started literally to live day to day. With age, you work out what matters.
As human beings we value the experience that comes with age. We are reminded over and over again with statements like 'older and wiser' and 'respect your elders,' promoting age as something to be cherished and respected.
