Word PornSadly, war is sometimes inevitable. While nobody liked the idea of having to leave their family, millions upon millions of our ancestors, friends, and fellow citizens have taken up arms to defend their country. It is for these brave soldiers and veterans that the threats our country has faced did not destroy our freedom and liberty. Even more so, it is for the military men who sacrificed their lives that we can still live in a free and prosperous society. Among many other things such as military monuments and parades, military quotes can help us to honor those who have fallen in service to their country. By honoring those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom, we can make sure that their brave deeds will not be forgotten. In fact, remembrance of the unselfish deeds of military men but also the heartbreaking costs of war can help to avoid unnecessary wars in the future. For this reason, we’ve created the following selection of some of the greatest and most powerful military quotes of all time. (See also our collection of Memorial Day Quotes).
Powerful military quotes remind us that freedom does not come for free.
“The soldier is the Army. No army is better than its soldiers. The Soldier is also a citizen. In fact, the highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country”
George S. Patton Jr.
Even more so, these statements by true patriots, military leaders, and statesman help us to become aware of great price so many had to pay for our present day’s freedom.
At the same time, military quotes also make us aware how precious and how privileged we are to live in a free society. But they also highlight how important it is to never allow external forces to take that freedom away from us.

John F. Kennedy
6.
“For the first time in a long time, I felt like I had a purpose being in the Navy. It wasn’t about money and rank or prestige. It was about raising the flag. We do what we do because no one else can or will do it. We fight so others can sleep at night. And I had forgotten that.”

That’s what the SEAL instructors were looking for: men and women who could disregard the pleadings of the body. Pain was nothing, sleep was nothing. What was chaffed skin, wrecked muscles, bleeding sores? The body chooses to be sore. The body chooses to be exhausted. But the SEAL mind rejects it. The SEAL mind commands the body, not the other way around.”

This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower
21.
“I did two things on my seventy-fifth birthday. I visited my wife’s grave. Then I joined the army. Visiting Kathy’s grave was the less dramatic of the two.”

Mark Owen

“She had been proud of his decision to serve his country, her heart bursting with love and admiration the first time she saw him outfitted in his dress blues. „
Nicholas Sparks
25.
“Kropp, on the other hand, is a thinker. He proposes that a declaration of war should be a kind of popular festival with entrance-tickets and bands, like a bull fight. Then in the arena, the ministers and generals of the two countries, dressed in bathing-drawers and armed with clubs, can have it out on themselves. Whoever survives the country wins. That would be much simpler and more than just this arrangement, where the wrong people do the fighting”
Erich Maria Remarque

Bill Mauldin
34.

Colin Powell
47.
“Have you ever stopped to ponder the amount of blood spilled, the volume of tears shed, the degree of pain and anguish endured, the number of noble men and women lost in battle so that we as individuals might have a say in governing our country? Honor the lives sacrificed for your freedoms.”
Richelle E. Goodrich
48.
“When the rich wage war it’s the poor who die.”
Jean-Paul Sartre
49.
“A command structure that was top-heavy with guys who looked good in uniform and talked right and did well enough not to embarrass themselves, while the really good ones quietly did all the serious work and bailed out their superiors and got blamed for errors they had advised against until they eventually got out. That was the military.”

Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.
Carl Jung

Moby
Quitting smoking is easy, I’ve done it hundreds of times.
Mark Twain
Addiction begins with the hope that something “out there” can instantly fill up the emptiness inside.
Jean Kilbourne
Addiction is just a way of trying to get at something else. Something bigger. Call it transcendence if you want, but it’s like a rat in a maze. We all want the same thing. We all have this hole. The thing you want offers relief, but it’s a trap.
Tess Callahan
At first, addiction is maintained by pleasure, but the intensity of this pleasure gradually diminishes and the addiction is then maintained by the avoidance of pain.
Frank Tallis
At every stage, addiction is driven by one of the most powerful, mysterious, and vital forces of human existence. What drives addiction is longing — a longing not just of brain, belly, or loins but finally of the heart. Cornelius
Platinga
The mentality and behavior of drug addicts and alcoholics is wholly irrational until you understand that they are completely powerless over their addiction and unless they have structured help, they have no hope.
Russell Brand
I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom.
Edgar Allan Poe
You know you’re an alcoholic when you misplace things for like a decade.

I admire addicts. In a world where everybody is waiting for some blind, random disaster, or some sudden disease, the addict has the comfort of knowing what will most likely wait for him down the road. He’s taken some control over his ultimate fate, and his addiction keeps the cause of death from being a total surprise.
Chuck Palahniuk
Drugs have taught an entire generation of American kids the metric system.
P.J. O’Rourke
The initial journey towards sobriety is a delicate balance between insight into one’s desire for escape and abstinence from one’s addiction.
Debra L. Kaplan
In the 1960s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal.

What is addiction, really? It is a sign, a signal, a symptom of distress. It is a language that tells us about a plight that must be understood.
Alice Miller
Addiction doesn’t kill the addict. It kills the family, kids and people who tried to help!
Anonymous
If you know someone who tries to drown their sorrows, you might tell them sorrows know how to swim.
Ann Landers
The first thing in the human personality that dissolves in alcohol is dignity.

It is never easy to pull yourself up when you are down. You might need your family and friends to do so.

You might think that you can do it by yourself, but it is never wrong to ask your friends to listen to you when your family cannot.
Asking other people’s help is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign that you are strong. Because admitting you need help takes courage and a lot of guts.
Do not forget to love yourself. Others might try to pull you down but you have to be strong to be able to move forward and live your future with a smile on your face.
