"I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them"
John Wayne as JB Books in "The Shootist. Yes, I realize this is not a real life quote, but it sure makes for a good way to conduct yourself (IMHO)in real life.....

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you."
Now... I been sayin' that poop for years. And if you ever heard it, that meant your *. You'd be dead right now. I never gave much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was a cold-blooded thing to say to a rabble rouser before I popped a cap in his *.
But I saw some poop this mornin' made me think twice.
See, now I'm thinking: maybe it means you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here... he's the shepherd protecting my righteous * in the valley of darkness.
Or it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. And I'd like that.
But that poop ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.

"From whence shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some trans-Atlantic military giant step the earth and crush us at a blow? Never. All the armies of Europe and Asia...could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide."

I have just read your dispatch about sore-tongued and fatigued horses, Will you pardon me for asking what the horses of your army have done since the Battle of Antietam that fatigues anything?"

Had a Chief who used an alternative "Couldn't find his * with a compass and an *-map." Dunno why, but that one always made me laugh. Probably his delivery.
From Mercutio, in Romeo and Juliet, when he had just been stuck in the chest with one of those skinny little Italian dueling swords, and his friend asked him how he was doing:
"It is not as deep as a well, nor as wide as a church door, but 'tis enough."

Similar and true.

The first item is the new quotation attributed to ME. With two other, maybe 4 instances now, including above and below.
