Title: Favourite Historical Quotes
Post by: Mr T on September 21, 2014, 09:27:56 pm
Post a discussion in history where someone has been epicly owned, or a badass/brace quote or just a simple quote from one historical figure that appeals to you, I'll start off.


Discussion between a British officer and French privateer Robert Surcouf in the Napoleonic Wars:

British Officer: You French fight for money, while we British fight for honour.

Surcouf: Sir, a man fights for what he lacks the most.

After the battle of Kulm 1813, the captured General Vandamme was brought to and accused by Emperor Alexander I of Russia of being a brigand and plunderer.

He retorted, "I am neither a plunderer nor a brigand, but in any case, my contemporaries and history will not reproach me for having murdered my own father."

This statement hinted at the widespread belief that Alexander I was implicated in the murder of his father, Emperor Paul I.

Frederick the Great.

Another good quote.

Hostilities should not be confused with aggression.  The one who makes the first plan to attack his neighbor breaks the engagements that he has undertaken for the peace, he plots, he conspires; this is in what true aggression consists.  The one who has learned of it and who does not take the initiative is a coward; the one who foresees(the plan of) his enemy commits the first hostilities, but he is not the aggressor.  (got this from a good book.  Frederick the Great, The magnificent Enigma by Robert Asprey.  haven't had the chance to read his books on Napoleon hopefully they are just as good ;D)

I can see why Patton was a great admirer of Frederick.

Which was later improved to the following quote:

"People build army build people"
Is it just me or does that sound like really broken English?  :P

It's not an English quote. I had to translate it, and I just did it literally. The way I would translate with "correct grammar" would be more like this:
The people build (or shape) the army, and the army builds (or shapes) the people.

And if I translate it back to the original language, it would sound different. Thus the translation would be more how I understand the quote, but doesn't necessarily mean that that is what they meant exactly (and another person might understand it differently).
But, no matter how you decide to understand the logical sense of the quote, the meaning is basically the same.

Logically that's how I think it works:
Army build people only if people build army (People build army -> army build people)

Some might see it like this
Army build people if and only if people build army (People build army <-> army build people)

Considering that historically the first quote was used (People build army), and later was improved to the second version, I think my version is more correct.

Or I just might be wrong overall.

Well my favorite motto would Meine Ehre heißt Treue ("My honour is called loyalty"), My favorite quote would be "If the enemy is in range, so are you.", and my own is "If you can't fight the enemy face to face, Go around them"
