Not the best quote for a wargaming forum, though.

bull, its the perfect quote for a wargaming forum. the man might have meant it as a statement to encourage pacifism, but if you look at it from a Klingon perspective (or space viking, as you may prefer) It encourages a glorious death by which you will attain Valhala (or stovalkor, both of which i probably spelled wrong.)

"Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country" Patton (...the movie. Not sure if Patton the general really said it. But's it's a good quote.)

[ZeroAdunn]

And some anonymous goodies:

Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, and a dark side, and it holds the universe together ...

Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity.

Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change.

Women and cats do as they please. Men and dogs will just have to live with it.

Fear the squirrel.
