If I have got to be a soldier, I must be a good one, anything else is unthinkable.

Wilfred Owen

Suzanne Collins

The price of self-destiny is never cheap, and in certain situations it is unthinkable. But to achieve the marvelous, it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought.

Tom Robbins

We must care to think about the unthinkable things, because when things become unthinkable, thinking stops and action becomes mindless.

J. William Fulbright

To be a good soldier, you must love the army. To be a good commander, you must be willing to order the death of the thing you love.

Robert E. Lee

The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.

Douglas MacArthur

Every soldier thinks something of the moral aspects of what he is doing. But all war is immoral and if you let that bother you, you're not a good soldier.

Curtis LeMay

Kay Ryan

George C. Marshall

The first quality of a soldier is constancy in enduring fatigue and hardship. Courage is only the second. Poverty privation and want are the school of the good soldier.

Napoleon Bonaparte

No man was ever a good soldier but the man who goes into the battle determined to conquer, or not to come back from the battle field (cheers). No other principle makes a good soldier.

Daniel O'Connell

Unacceptable, maybe. But not unthinkable. Nothing's unthinkable once somebody's thought it.

Robert Silverberg

The soldier who gropes for glory must submit himself to discipline. Subordination gives strength and security to an army. He that will not submit to it when corrected and improved by the experience of ages does not deserve the proud appellation of a soldier.

Sam Houston

All our rulers have said that war is unthinkable, and then we think about it almost all the time. We've got to make it unthinkable.

Norman Thomas

The greatest thing that I had in my life was those moments with my dad that I sacrificed. I looked at him as a soldier. He's a wounded soldier. It's my duty as a human to take care of this soldier.

Jim Breuer
