The strength of a civilization is not measured by its ability to fight wars, but rather by its ability to prevent them.
Roddenberry, Gene
All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one...characteristic we must posses if we are to face the future as finishers.
Unknown, Source
The ability of a country to wage war is not an accurate measure of its strengths, but of its fears.
Audette, Derek R.
The full value of this life can only be got by fighting; the violent take it by storm. And if we have accepted everything we have missed something -- war. This life of ours is a very enjoyable fight, but a very miserable truce.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
It is not possible to fight beyond your strength, even if you strive.
Homer
I judge the relative strength of a man by how envious they become, of others, who enjoy a measure of success.
Munro, Barry
Ability is sexless.
Pankhurst, Christabel
For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus – and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.
Barack Hussein Obama
If we can't or won't define the enemy, the cost to fight such a war will be endless. How many American troops are we prepared to lose? How much money are we prepared to spend? How many innocent civilians, in our nation and others, are we willing to see killed? How many American civilians will we jeopardize? How much of our civil liberties are we prepared to give up? How much prosperity will we sacrifice? [...] I support President Bush and voted for the authority and the money to carry out his responsibility to defend this country, but the degree of death and destruction and chances of escalation must be carefully taken into consideration.
Paul, Ron
Ability without honor is useless.
Cicero, Marcus T.
