Favourite quotes - Here's mine, Quite a long list. What's yours?

"A Golf course is the willful and deliberate misuse of a perfectly good Rifle Range." - Col. Jeff Cooper
This one is my favorite so far, by far.
 
“Above average people talk about ideas.
Average people talk about events.
Below average people talk about other people.”

“It’s not the size of the dog in a fight that matters, it’s the size of the fight in the dog that matters.”

”Man, I wonder what the poor folks are doing? “

Now this is the Law of the Jungle -- As old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf who shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back --
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
 
Having served in the military and from a military family a couple from that…

”Imbrace the Suck!!!”

”The only easy day was yesterday!”


And in our family’s fighting spirit…

“Fight on my men,"
I am hurt,but I am not slain;
I'll lay me down and bleed a-while,
And then I'll rise and fight again".”​

― Thomas Moore

And growing up in the west and in the immortal words of Toby Kieth…

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
