Odd Quotes

By Dennis

- Duke of Wellington

- Patton

To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.
- Washington

Do your duty and leave the rest to heaven.
- Corneille

Wise men learn much from their enemies.
- Aristophanes

A ship is always referred to as she because it costs so much to keep one in paint and powder.
- Nimitz

- Unknown

This war, like the next war, is a war to end war.
- Lloyd George
