If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
Samuel Adams

I have come here to chew gum and teach riflemen the art of shooting one hole groups and I'm all out of bubblegum.

Do you ever change to a new rifle thinking it will make you better?

"My only regret is that I have but one life to lose for my country"
-Nathaniel Hale

"Fac pro Dale et Sicut Biff"

The difference between a novice and a master: the novice does it until they get it right. The master does it until they can't get it wrong.

The highest level of mastery is simplicity. Most information is irrelevant and most effort is wasted, but only the expert knows what to ignore. James Clear

Dr. Joseph Warren, in his last letter to his mother, "Where danger is, dear mother, there must your son be... I will set [America] free or die".

Our cause is just . . . our country will be grateful - George Rogers Clark

"This country has been made by the Timothy Murphys, the men in the ranks. Conditions here called for qualities of heart and hand that Tim Murphy had in abundance. Our histories should tell us more about the men in the ranks, for it was to them, more than to the generals that we were indebted for our military victories." -  Franklin Delano Roosevelt, as New York Governor, 1929, at the dedication of the memorial to Murphy

Liberty and Freedom and Democracy are so precious that you do not fight for them once and stop.
