So long as I'm Commander-in-Chief, we will sustain the strongest military the world has ever known. When you take off the uniform, we will serve you as well as you've served us - because no one who fights for this country should have to fight for a j...

[Iain, addressing the Rangers at the end of the French & Indian war] "Never has the world see a war as this one, but you turned the tide of it, spillin' your blood to keep frontier families safe. Years from now, people will remember the Rangers, the ...
The early removal from school of future officers of Britain's seapower, leaving them unacquainted with the subject matter and ideas of the distant and recent past, may account for the incapacity of no military thinking in a world that devoted itself ...
The simple and terrifying reality, forbidden from discussion in America, was that despite spending $600 billion a year on the military, despite having the best fighting force the world had ever known, they were getting their asses kicked by illiterat...
If a woman is interested in her own struggle into identity and power, then she will be interested in other women. The lives of these, and other women, show me what a woman can do even without formal power, education, or rights, in a world dominated b...
The faint pink coating the treetops promised rippling buds, a sure sign of spring hastening in, right on schedule, and the animal world getting ready for its fiesta of courting and mating, dueling and dancing, suckling and grubbing, costume-making an...
Years ago atheism was an individual phenomenon; today atheism is social, the atheist who once was a curiosity, is now a component part of some of the governments of the world. Once men quarreled because they wanted God worshipped in a certain way; no...
Sam: [looking at the Haradrim army] Who are they? Gollum: Wicked men. Servants of Sauron. They are called to Mordor. The Dark One is gathering all armies to him. It won't be long now. He will soon be ready. Sam: Ready to do what? Gollum: To make his ...
Eduardo Ruiz: You guys remind me of Japanese soldiers on deserted islands who still think world war two is still going on. The fact is that your government surrendered this war a long fucking time ago. Montel Gordon: You know, I don't think this atti...

[Khan discovers the Enterprise and realizes it isn't as badly damaged as he thought] Khan: There she is! There she is! Ah... not so wounded as we were led to believe. So much the better!
Kirk: I suppose you're about to remind me that logic alone dictates your actions? Spock: I would not remind you of that which you know so well.
Kirk: Khan, how do I know you'll keep your word? Khan: Oh, I've given you no word to keep, Admiral. In my judgment, you simply have no alternative.
Kirk: Engine room. Well done, Scotty! McCoy: Jim... I think you'd better get down here. Kirk: Bones? McCoy: Better hurry...
Saavik: Trouble with the nebula, sir. All that static discharge and gas will cloud our visual display. Tactical won't function, and shields will be useless! Spock: Sauce for the goose, Mr Saavik - the odds will be even!
McCoy: Admiral, wouldn't it be easier to put an experienced crew back on the ship? Kirk: Galloping around the cosmos is a game for the young, Doctor. [Leaves] Commander Nyota Uhura: Now what is that supposed to mean?
[Kirk remotely commands Reliant's shields to drop] Joachim: Our shields are dropping. Khan: Then raise them! Joachim: [pounds fists on console] I can't! Khan: The override. Where's the override?
