Hard to argue with that one; and we might as well add in the St. Crispin's Day speech from Henry IV for sheer jingoism.

Lou Gehrig's speech
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SKyfGK9brs Douglas MacArthur Old Soldiers Speech: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/macarthur/f......h05.html Knute Rockne speech: ROCKNE: Well, boys ... I haven't a thing to say. Played a great game...all of you. Great game. (He tries to smile.) I guess we just can't expect to win ‘em all. (Rockne pauses and says quietly). I'm going to tell you something I've kept to myself for years -- None of you ever knew George Gipp. It was long before your time. But you know what a tradition he is at Notre Dame... (There is gentle, faraway look in his eyes as he recalls the boy's words). And the last thing he said to me -- "Rock," he said - "sometime, when the team is up against it -- and the breaks are beating the boys -- tell them to go out there with all they got and win just one for the Gipper... (Knute's eyes become misty and his voice is unsteady as he finishes). I don't know where I'll be then, Rock", he said - "but I'll know about it - and I'll be happy." There is a hushed stillness as Rockne and the crowd of boys look at each other. In the midst of this tense silence, Rockne quietly says "Alright," to the men beside him, and his chair is wheeled slowly out of the dressing room. PLAYER # 12: Well, what are we waiting for? With a single roar, the players throw off their blankets and rush through the doorway.

Well if we're gonna' get Shakespearian:
"This, by his voice, should be a Montague. Fetch me my rapier, boy. What dares the slave Come hither, cover'd with an antic face, To fleer and scorn at our solemnity? Now, by the stock and honor of my kin, To strike him dead, I hold it not a sin." -Tybalt And this isn't Shakespeare but it's similar and one of the greatest things ever written: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEacXeAbHpQ&feature=fvw And another version, just for gits and shiggles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWIz_AfWW4s&feature=related

Our friends don't have to agree with me about everything and some that I hold very dear don't have to agree about anything, except where we are going to meet them for dinner.

To die among friends. Can a man ask more? Can the world offer less? Who wants to live 'til the last bottle's empty? It's all for one, D'artagnan, and one for all.

Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |
