"The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."
“The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who have helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.”

My interest in history began as a child watching epic movies in the late 60's-70's. My favourite was always "the 300 Spartans" I must have seen it a dozen times. Two "quotes" have remained with me to this day
"It is said that on the eve of battle, he was told by a native of Trachis that the Persian archers were so numerous that, when they fired their volleys the mass of arrows blocked out the sun. Dienekes, however, quite undaunted by this prospect, remarked with a laugh,
- "Good. Then we'll have our battle in the shade."
"Tell the Spartans, stranger passing by,
that here obedient to their laws we lie."
Considering the forum, I'll keep my favorite quote(s) to something nautical.
"You're going to need a bigger boat"
