In battle, you forgive a man anything except an unwillingness to take risks. Sometimes you have to put it on the line.
Tom Clancy

Speak your dialogue out loud. If it sounds like the way people talk, then write it down.
Tom Clancy
Image
There is more to military units than hardware. There is the character of the unit's personnel: their strengths, experience, and knowledge, their ability to get along and work together amid the horrors of the battlefield. There is an almost undefinable quality. That quality is the Marine Corps' secret weapon. Their edge. That quality is their ethos.

Every person you meet - and everything you do in life - is an opportunity to learn something.
Tom Clancy
Image
The Good of the People was a laudable enough goal, but in denying a man's soul, an enduring part of his being, Marxism stripped away the foundation of human dignity and individual value. It also cast aside the objective measure of justice and ethics which, he decided, was the principal legacy of religion to civilized life.

A lawyer is just like an attack dog, only without a conscience.
Tom Clancy

I wanted to see my name on the cover of a book. If your name is in the Library of Congress, you're immortal.

In the Soviet Union it was illegal to take a photograph of a train station. Look what happened to them. They tried to classify everything.

Fix your eyes forward on what you can do, not back on what you cannot change.
Tom Clancy
Image
I think it's an intellectual duty for a person who lives in a free society to read material not only with which you agree, but with which you disagree. Because every so often somebody you think is wrong will actually turn out to be right.
