A Marine is a Marine. I set that policy two weeks ago - there's no such thing as a former Marine. You're a Marine, just in a different uniform and you're in a different phase of your life. But you'll always be a Marine because you went to Parris Island, San Diego or the hills of Quantico. There's no such thing as a former Marine.

James F. Amos

One day, you'll get out of the Marine Corps; you'll put your uniform up, but you'll never not be a Marine.

John F. Kelly

It's fear of the unknown. The unknown is what it is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that-it's all illusion. Unknown is what it is. Accept that it's unknown and it's plain sailing. Everything is unknown-then you're ahead of the game. That's what it is. Right?

John Lennon

In the last analysis, what the Marine Corps becomes is what we make of it during our respective watches. And that watch of each Marine is not confined to the time he spends on active duty. It last as long as he is "proud to bear the title of United States Marine."

Louis H. Wilson, Jr.

Being in the Marine Corps was the best thing that ever happened to me. It can do a lot for a young guy. I owe a lot to the Marine Corps. If I had a son, I'd want him to be a Marine.

Tom Monaghan

My father is a Marine. My brother is a Marine. I almost became a Marine. I'm no stranger to fight training. I used to do jujitsu and boxing as a kid. I was a running back in football for my high school and my college. I played ice hockey as well as did theater. So, there's always been a physical nature to me.

Zach McGowan

We should never lose sight of the ethos that has made the Marine Corps - where 'every Marine is a rifleman' - one of America's cherished institutions and one of the world's most feared and respected fighting forces

Robert M. Gates

Doing 'Marine 3' and 'Marine 4,' and kind of knowing what's in store, I knew that when you do a 'Marine' movie that it's hard days, it's long days and all that. You're tired, your body's tired, your mind's tired, but you have to do the acting, you have to do the stunts, you have to do everything.

The Miz

And all of these together, as much as any campaign the Marine Corps has ever pursued, have brought an unrelenting, never-ceasing pride to all of us who have ever claimed the title of United States Marine

Jim Webb

[ General James Mattis] is a Marine's Marine who has served in combat in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

Peter R. Mansoor

Ensure that no Marine who honorably wore the eagle, globe and anchor is lost to the Marine Corps family.

James L. Jones

When I put on my Marine cover, I'm a Marine, and I act accordingly.

Rob Riggle

In the Marine Corps, your buddy is not only your classmate or fellow officer, but he is also the Marine under your command. If you don't prepare yourself to properly train him, lead him, and support him on the battlefield, then you're going to let him down. That is unforgivable in the Marine Corps.

Chesty Puller

I studied marine biology, even taught marine science before I got into animation, so I had an interest in that field and those animals.

Stephen Hillenburg

I am an ocean lover and fish watcher and had studied marine biology and even taught marine sciences before I got into animation.

Stephen Hillenburg

Nicknamed 'Mad-Dog Mattis' by his men, he was a command warrior in the old George Patton mode. He wasn't an armchair general by any definition of that much-maligned term. If a Marine re-upped at a location where he was present, he would personally go to that Marine and thank him or her for rejoining.
