Do you have a favorite quote? It can be personal, professional, inspriring, what have you. Why is this quote so important to you?

To begging the conversation, I actually have three:
"Dulce et Decorum est Pro Patria Mori" (Latin: It is sweet and fitting to die for one's country)
"I would like respect, but barring that a little fear goes a long way to helping things go smoothly."
"Faith is a gift that I have yet to receive."

"If not men of good will, then who?" It's from the story of Perseus in Plutarch's Selected Lives. Louis L'Amour put me on to it in his autobiography, The Education of a Wandering Man. It explains virtually all of his stories in which a hero wanders into town where trouble is afoot. Rather than ride on, he stays long enough to fix it. In all my life I have done many things for no better reason that I could not answer that question. If not me, then who?

SGT Joseph Gunderson I don't use a quote, but a 'mantra'. "Everything is fine, it will all work out". If I am still upset or stressed, I start whistling!
