    "You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

      Well, I've been always inspired by Quark and the Ferengi Laws of Acquisition.

                  "This day is called the feast of Crispian:
                  He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
                  Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
                  And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
                  He that shall live this day, and see old age,
                  Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
                  And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:'
                  Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
                  And say 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.'
                  Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
                  But he'll remember with advantages
                  What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
                  Familiar in his mouth as household words
                  Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
                  Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
                  Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd.
                  This story shall the good man teach his son;
                  And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
                  From this day to the ending of the world,
                  But we in it shall be remember'd;
                  We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
                  For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
                  Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
                  This day shall gentle his condition:
                  And gentlemen in England now a-bed
                  Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
                  And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
                  That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day"

                    Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
                    Strength & Honor!

                      The Rules of Acquisition were the sacred precepts upon which all Ferengi society was based. They were first written by Gint, the first Grand Nagus. In theory, "[e]very Ferengi business transaction is governed by [these rules] to ensure a fair and honest deal for all parties concerned." (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I") By the mid-22nd century there were 173 rules (ENT: "Acquisition"); by the 2370s there were 285. (DS9: "Rules of Acquisition", "Body Parts"; VOY: "False Profits"); and supposedly 289 by

                              Churchill -- insight, wit.

                              Matron: Mr. Prime Minister! You are drunk! You are very, very drunk!

                              Churchill: And you madam, are ugly. You are very, very ugly. And tomorrow morning, I shall undeniably be sober!

                              After being instructed by the editors of his biography to cease ending his sentences with prepositions:

                              Churchill: "Gentlemen, this is something up with which I shall not put!"
