Aww I'm sad somebody already took the Patton quote lol.

"when you absolutely positively need it destroyed overnight, USMC" <-bumper sticker

"We need to destroy. No attack. Not damage. Not Surround. I want to DESTROY the Rebulican Guard" <- General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

My favorite quote of all time:

"We will not tire. We will not falter. We will not fail." <- President George W. Bush.

Be kind to your neighbor;
He knows where you live.

It's better to ask for forgiveness,
than to ask for permission.

There was another song that started out with the same lyrics..........

"Alright, Well I got somethin' to say. It's better to burn out, then to fade away!" - Rock of Ages by Def Leppard

I've been tryin' to forget about that Neil Young song for years...........

Wasn't that phrase "Alright, Well I got somethin' to say. It's better to burn out, then to fade away!" also used in the movie "Highlander", with Clancy Brown?
