"Accept this little man, while you preach against the institutions that allow you to continue speaking. There will always be wolves at the door, and there will always be a need for someone to stand up and fight them off. You can accept this; or you can continue to wallow in your own naivety." - President Roosevelt to an Anti-War Activist

"We are a race of petty, vain, greedy, wrathful, violent warmongering barbarians and anyone who has ever been adverse to the fact and avoided this very basic nature has paid for it with their lives and their freedoms many times over." - President Roosevelt to another Anti-War Activist

"It is my most solemn duty to deliver unto you the truth. Though much of Sotia is conquered by the purist Reich and their people ever oppressed by the dark hand of the Black Sun; neither Euro-Asia nor Russo-Spain shall ever surrender. We shall fight them in the fields, at sea and in the air, we shall resist them until such a time that we can resist no more and that their empire and their ambition is broken on the struggle! Even when they march on Urbis Lumen itself and Saint Ark is burning, we will not give into their depraved visions! Their new world order shall not rise so long as the Russo-Spanish Empire draws breath, and should we both be conquered in totality, may our overseas empires guarded by the stalwart Imperial Navy continue the fight until such a time that the New World comes to the aid of the Old." - Empress Olga Romanova's address to the House of Nobles, 1914

"You want it in color, in admittance? Fine, your government has failed you; there is no other word for it. We are a laughing stock of any civilized world for our lack of action in the face of this disaster. We are terrible shepherds and absolutely horrendous leaders. In twenty four hours we can send seventy billion tons of foreign aid to Africa, Haiti and the Dominican Republic; and it takes us three fucking weeks to get water to Louisiana we're not worthy of being called a government for the Amerikan people; when all we're interested in is helping others while Amerikans die." - President (then General) Roosevelt; 2006*


*My timeline is vastly different from reality's, don't take similar names to mean the same events

"I have nothing against you personally, Congressman, except the very apparent fact that you would prefer it if everybody in the nation were made poorer, so long as the rich were less wealthy, whereas my preference is that the entire nation be made richer, even if the poor remain so relative to the richest, because their lot will still improve as a result."

~ Senator Reema Ahrari.

"To put it bluntly, as of this moment I have six thousand troops on the ground, not including those used to guard the refugees fleeing your murderous thugs. These troops are the best available here. They are well trained, disciplined, well organized, have top-notch equipment and weaponry, and are led by superb officers. In short, they are not the terrified civilian masses your so-called military have been chasing down and murdering in droves. Nor, you may be assured, will they tolerate such actions while they are here."

~ Major General Izek Anaya Pérez, C.S.A.

"If this had been a Hollywood movie, then I would have slept out in a tent in all weather, just like my soldiers, ate the same food as them at meals, and inspired them by leading major assaults made on enemy strong-points, but this was not a Hollywood movie. This was real. I slept in a bed in my headquarters compound and I ate the best food available to be rested and at my best and ready constantly. I inspired my men by maintaining a constant grasp of the large picture of the battlespace, by making sure there were no unnecessary losses from badly planned movements, and by effectively coordinating operations so that what resistance there was, was crushed in weeks."

~ Major General Izek Anaya Pérez, C.S.A.
