Music:

"The nation that has trained itself to a cancer of unwarlike and isolate ease is bound, in the end, to go down before other nations, which have not lost the manly and adventurous virtues." - Theodore Roosevelt

Movies:

"There is a rank due to these United States among nations, which will be withheld, if not absolutely lost, by the reputation for weakness. If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for war." - George Washington

Books:

"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." - George Orwell
