My second entry into the quirky quotes contest is (first quote and more detail can be found here):
* “The United States Marine Corps, with its fiercely proud tradition of excellence in combat, its hallowed rituals, and its unbending code of honor, is part of the fabric of American myth.” ~Thomas E. Ricks; Making the Corps, 1997
* “Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don’t have that problem.” ~Ronald Reagan, President of the United States; 1985
* “Marines die, that’s what we’re here for. But the Marine Corps lives forever. And that means YOU live forever.” ~the mythical GySgt. Hartman, USMC; portrayed by GySgt. R. Lee Ermey, a Marine Corps Drill Instructor using his own choice of words in Full Metal Jacket, 1987
* “The Marines have landed, and the situation is well in hand.” ~-Richard Harding Davis, war correspondent (1885)
* “Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far” ~Theodore Roosevelt
