One hundred and twenty Marines were detailed to officer a force of twenty-six hundred Haitians.

If only more of today's military personnel would realize that they are being used by the owning elite's as a publicly subsidized capitalist goon squad.

There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights.

War is just a racket... I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else.

We must take the profit out of war.

War like any other racket, pays high dividends to the very few. The cost of operations is always transferred to the people who do not profit.

I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in.

Only those who would be called upon to risk their lives for their country should have the privilege of voting to determine whether the nation should go to war.

Why don't those damn oil companies fly their own flags on their personal property-maybe a flag with a gas pump on it.

I spent thirty-three years in the Marines, most of my time being a hlgh class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism.

Anyone can take an adventure even if it's only in your own backyard. Let your imagination be your adventure and see where it takes you.

How could one be in this world without feeling dismayed by it? Even if one paints flowers and gingerbread.

As we look for humor, seek for the eternal perspective, understnd the principle of compensation, and draw near to our Heavenly Father, we can endure heardship and trial.

Nothing is a thing: it's nothing. So I can imagine a place where there's not even nothing.

Cultivate the habit of being grateful... and ...give thanks continuously.

Never only exists in your head. Anything is possible.
