“We know that words cannot move mountains, but they can move the multitude; and men are more ready to fight and die for a word than for anything else. Words shape thought, stir feeling, and beget action; they kill and revive, corrupt and cure. The "men-of-words"- priests, prophets, intellectuals- have played a more decisive role in history than military leaders, statesmen, and businessmen.” KnowsMenFeelingsActionMovingDiesFightingLeaderRolesSocietyMilitaryHe ManReadyShapesMountainCuresProphetPriestsMultitudesBusinessmanStatesmenBegetsReviveMove MountainsMilitary Leader Book:Between the Devil and the Dragon: The Best Essays and Aphorisms of Eric Hoffer Source: Between the Devil and the Dragon: The Best Essays and Aphorisms of Eric Hoffer
“If they succeed in creating an inclusive structure in virtually any peaceful form, Iraq succeeds. If they fail, the U.S.-led coalition fails almost regardless of its military success and that of the new Iraqi forces, and Iraq will move towards division, paralysis, civil conflict and/or a new strongman.” IfsMovingFormForceFailingMilitaryCivilizationSucceedConflictCreatingStructureIraqPeacefulDivisionCoalitionsParalysis Author:Anthony H.

“My view is there will be problems and bad people as long as the earth exists, and since we're moving into a completely interdependent global environment, we're better off building a world we'd like to live in when the United States are not the only military superpower.

“Industrial production, the flow of resources in the economy, the exertion of military effort in a war, the management of finances --all require the coordination of interrelated activities. What these complex undertakings share in common is the task of constructing a statement of actions to be performed, their timing and quantity (called a program or schedule), that, if implemented, would move the system from a given initial status as much as possible towards some defined goal” IfsWarActionMovingGivenGoalCommonEffortEconomyShareMilitaryActivityResourcesProgramFlowTasksManagementComplexesProductionsStatementsFinanceDefinedQuantityTimingSchedulesInitialsUndertakingsExertionCoordination Author:George Dantzig

“A little while ago I visited Omaha Beach for the second time in my life. In the intervening 26 years, nearly 20,000 tides had come and gone and little remains visible of the greatest military landing in man's history of endless warring. What's to be seen is mostly in a superb museum and a panoramic cemetery. The cemetery memorializes with dignity and grandeur the event and the dead, and moves one deeply. Before they die less precipitously and/or in lesser purpose, Americans who can should visit World War II's Normandy Beach. Such seeing and remembering helps a man's perspective.” MenWorldShouldYearsLittlesWarHelpingRememberMovingPurposeDiesGoneSeeingMilitaryEventsPerspectiveDignityRemainsEndlessBeachWar Of The WorldsVisibleMuseumsWorld War IiTidesWorld War IGrandeurLandingCemeterySuperbInterveningNormandyOmahaGreatest MilitaryOmaha Beach Author:Malcolm Forbes
“It is a damned sight easier to start wars than to end them. This truth has been stated for as long and as often as it has been ignored. High time and thank God, we are at least moving toward de-escalation in Vietnam. The road to extrication will be long, painful, bitter. But it must be trod. We are so bogged down in Vietnam that we cannot respond effectively anywhere else in the world to a military power play except through atomic bombardment.” WorldLongHas BeensWarEndsPlayMovingMilitaryEasierSightPainfulBitterThank GodVietnamIgnoredAtomic BombMilitary PowerEscalationPower PlayStart Wars Author:Malcolm Forbes
