[Malgrave]

Don't worry. I've done that many times xD

7/10

"Water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing. Therefore, just as water retains no constant shape, so in warfare there are no constant conditions." - General Oskar.

[The Land of Columbia]

7/10. Ze Truth!

"When there is no more oppression, and no more crime in these streets, then I will lay down my badge and my guns. Until then, I have work to do."

- F.S. Marshal William Beck, re-quoted by his great grand-daughter, Marshal Tiffany Beck.

[The Grand World Order]

8/10.

"I saw the world before the Final War, Marshal. Before I came to rule the numerous peoples that now make up the Federation, there was nothing but division, hatred, and an utter decay in morality and decency. I have re-installed the concepts of what is right, and what is wrong. I have united our people; not as Muslims, not as Christians, not as black or white, but as Citizens of the Federation. If you believe this is evil, then by all means, you're right, Fascism is evil." -Grand Commander Griffith Artiche

0/10. Cause i'm left handed

*Lefty Hug*

I'm ambidextrous. I win, bitches.

[The BranRiech]

6/10


"you're not alive unless you're almost dying" -High General. Oashgar at a military rally

[Vettrera]

5/10 Kinda pitchy dash


"Borders and States don't make a country, politicians and lobbyist nor either, economists and generals do not make a country, the people do and always will"-Apollo Knightly former president of vettrera
(said as he stepped down from his job and announced he would not run for re-election)

[The Anglo-Saxon Empire]

*Lefty Hug*

I'm ambidextrous. I win, bitches.

I can't use either hand at all. I am the most special.

[The Grand World Order]

5/10 Kinda pitchy dash


"Borders and States don't make a country, politicians and lobbyist nor either, economists and generals do not make a country, the people do and always will"-Apollo Knightly former president of vettrera
(said as he stepped down from his job and announced he would not run for re-election)

4/10. Mr. Knightly apparently never heard of us.

"The Sons of Predappio are marching, President. At this point I don't believe you can stop them." -Marshal Lurdan Huszar, then supreme commander of the GWO Armed Forces as the Fascists marched on the Global Parliament building, revealing that most of the military (especially in New Paris) were loyal to Griffith Artiche



Eventually, the most loyal Fascists would hold that title with pride. The Sons of Predappio are the most radical Italian Fascists around- Predappio refers to the birthplace of Mussolini. Of course, every Grand Commander has been one.

[Sagatagan]

5/10- meh. Not bad, not memorable.


"The Columbian government would have us believe that the harvesting of whales can continue indefinitely in Mitana's waters. They assure us all that has happened in virtually every other ocean of the world will not happen here- though the difficulty we face each year, the hungry faces returning to the shore, the empty rooms of sons gone to seek new jobs in the cities, belie these kind and reassuring claims. Whale stocks are disappearing around the globe, and with it goes the whaler's way of life. I have been a whaler since I was a young man. My father was a whaler. His father was a whaler. All I want, is that someday, my son can be a whaler, too.
The Columbian government wants to paint us all to be rabid environmentalists- and I take no shame in saying, I am an environmentalist! My environment gives me my livelihood. My environment gives life to the whales. The whale gives us meat, blubber, oil, ambrein, abergris, scrimshaw, baleen, our whole host of riches. The whale is integral to the life of every town and village of Sagatagan's coast. I am an environmentalist because I am a whaler. I could not be a whaler, without caring for the whales and the whale stocks, without caring for the ocean, any more than a farmer could afford to neglect and abuse his soil, or a cattleman starve his cattle, or a mechanic let his engines go to rust.
The whales are my resource. But, they are not my resource alone. They are every person's resource. The Columbian and the Sagat and the Revean and the Bator all can hunt the whale. The whale, however, is not an infinite resource. We must leave enough whales to reproduce. We must leave enough whales for a viable, thriving wild population. How can we do this, when the whale is open to all? This is a classic tragedy of the commons. Our solution is not radical. We do not want or advocate the end of whaling. The imposition of a catch limit is used to great effect in fishing, hunting, and every other form of wildlife management. Why cannot the whales and their whalers have such protection? Must we watch the whale decline, and lose our livelihood and our way of life? Or would we come together, and use our common sense to prevent this injustice?
We bear no animosity to our Columbian brothers. We wish to spare them as well as ourselves the fate of the whale's decline. We wish prosperity for Sagat and Columbian alike. Let us not have our common sense clouded by ideological warfare. We must safeguard the whale, to save the whaler."

- Sabasto Mikorioj, Sagat Whaler's Association spokesperson, on an international broadcast interview.

[Luciratus]

7/10 It had its moments.

"Why must the plebeians and critics insist on poisoning philosophy with intelligibility? How grotesquely rational of them!"- James E. Cassander, Secretary of Foreign Affairs

"In an irrefutably and demonstratively democratic society, the individual who entertains the yolk of the presidency should be more constrained by responsibilities, both legal and ethical, than the general populace."- Alistaire O. Hawthorne, President

[The Land of Columbia]

I'm ambidextrous. I win, bitches.

He's a bloody mutant! BURN HIM!!!

I can't use either hand at all. I am the most special.

You certainly are.

10/10 on that first one due to high humor, Luciratus.

10/10 on the second one as well, because...well...Ze Truth!

"I suppose next they'll be trying to 'incite the Glorious Proletariat' on Columbian shores, or something like that."

- President John Warrick, speaking of the Sagats.

8/10 Quite amusing.

"Morality is a lie perpetrated to permit the continuance of immoral activities by the principle authorities of the church, the state, and the bourgeois society. Thus, I shall issue no guarantees regarding my morality. After all, I must rely first and foremost on the good confidence of the people, not on elaborate social constructs." - Maximilien J. B. R. Lucien, Ravau (General) and Socialist Politician

"The state is G_d. It is a means in and of itself, engendered with all the qualities of divinity. The perfect governmental apparatus for a state must appear omniscient, ubiquitous, just, and powerful so as not to incur, or rather be subjected to, the wrath of the people."- Fernando Clemente Vasquez, Fascist Dictator

[The Grand World Order]

6/10 on the first, 9/10 on second.


"Some people say that the lives of soldiers don't mean anything, but I disagree, for what I saw of our guardians here in this very city. They did not run. They did not protest for a second. They stepped forward, rifles in their hands, and... and... they stood before the eyes of God Almighty as they were taken from us. They readily laid down their lives for their country, and for their families. We are gathered here upon now-consecrated ground to remember them, even if none of us know all of their names." -Grand Commander Griffith Victor, speaking of the servicemen and women who died during the Magna Polis Uprising (The GWO Armed Forces lost 3.9 million personnel during the three-month battle, which took 18 million lives total)

[San Romiatius]

8/10 Powerful and moving. Since my last quote wasn't rated, I'm reposting it.

"And it is our darkest hour. But in our darkest hour we will find the light and go towards it, and it will lead us to victory. We will not let the enemy stop us, for we are no longer black and white, poor or rich, nobility or commoner. We are Romans. We are united, and we will fight. We will win." Doge Marco IV

[The Rubble Belt]

8/10

"Okay either pinch me, or fire the head of the intelligence department"
Grand Admiral Kronor-289, after being told that no one had declared war since he had gone to bed the night before.

[Tatec]

5/10

"Hostile armies may face each other for years, striving for the victory which is decided in a single day." - Foreign Minister Heinrich Tupolev

[Radictistan]

While Mr. Ezenti does in fact have a right to control the activities of persons who work on his property, that right is outweighed by the right of the plaintiff to continue breathing. Economic liberty does not excuse negligence toward human life.

[The Nuclear Fist]

9/10

Man has a right to the fruits of his labours. Things he has personally done, and things he has personally built with his own hands. That, in short, means that man has no right to own land. Land has always existed, and will exist independently long after we are dead. It is not the fruit of labour, and therefor owning it is as much a theft to nature as taking possession of our neighbour's home, which does not belong to you.

-Bagrat Dzeghusvili, responding to rumours that he did not support farmers.

8/10. Did you at least rate me since the last person did not rate >_>

"Don't get sarcastic with me son. We burnt this tight-arsed city to the ground in 1814 and I'm all for doing it again. Starting with you you Frat Fuck. You get sarcastic with me again and I will stuff so much cotton wool down your fucking throat it'll come out your arse like the wee tail on a playboy bunny." Defence Minister Tucker speaking to the Foreign Minister of an Autonomous Province after the revolution. TATEC forces moved into the province and burnt the said city to the ground.

[Teotan]

Ah, the putschists. They think that a bit of sweat and blood they spill on a battlefield gives them the necessary knowledge to govern an entire nation, from economic to social and international affairs. (Apr. 16, 1956, after the trials of the Plot of Fourteen, in which Fourteen high ranking military officers planned to take down the Party and proclaim a military dictatorship)

Caudillo Felipe Villegas, Caudillo of Teotan from 1923-1978

One should not wish for revolution, for a revolution usually comes full circle wasting lives and equipment. Haven't the proletariat learned the definitions of words?
Monarca Victor Cortez III, after being tried in the civil war by the failed revolutionary government.  

[Luciratus]

Tatec: 5/10 Slightly vulgar humor, but amusing vulgarity nonetheless.
Teotan: 0/10 Due to your failure to rate your predecesor's quotation.

"Despite the condemnations of the Progressive opposition, I celebrate the expiration of our enemies with unabashed joviality. Before you think me fickle or callous, consider this. The individual who utterly dismembers another man achieves a miniscule amount, but the individual who eradicates an idea, a philosophy, an idiosyncratic process, why, he attains every conceivable victory. Thus, I make war not on trivial men, but on sublime ideas. Tyranny, oppression, and all manner of baseness are my adversaries. Why shouldn't I toast the death of tyranny?"- Ya'akov (Jacob) Lazar Rabin, Vice-President

[Vingtor]

Very Enlightenment. 9/10

"Let us take of that drink which is best, and we will drink before battle and be merry, and show in fashion what men they are, Hrolf's champions, and strive for this alone that our valour never be forgotten: for here come the greatest and brave champions of all neighboring lands. Tell it to Hjorvarth, to Skuld, and to those their bravoes, that we will drink to make us merry before we collect out tribute!"

A toast by Jarl Hrolf on the eve before a major battle with his mortal foes, Jarl Hjorvarth and his witch/wife Skuld.

[Luciratus]

5/10 I suppose it might be construed as inspirational to raiders, vikings, or pirates of some sort and it also possesses a certain self-assured flare which is very endearing. However, despite it's adequate grammar and confidence, it seems to lack a certain deeper meaning. For what are your people fighting? Mere wealth? Even if that is so, you require some "more noble" cause in most cases to spark the passionate nationalism of the people.

" Allah willing, we shall succeed in this endeavor. The proletariat remain now as ever the builders of their own destiny. To attain our destiny, we require not violence but merely the will to dream of a more noble, a more just, and a more egalitarian future and the courage to enlighten the others of our presence."- Ismael M. Basri, Socialist Politician and Imam

"Admittedly, my subtle prejudices and myopic mannerisms used to render me blind and ineffectual. I observed various groups: Muslims, Arabs, Persians, Jews, Catholics, Protestants, Americans, Europeans. Now, my eyes glimpse the unabashed beauty of the world and I have realized that their is only one such group in reality. Humanity itself."- Ismael M. Basri, Socialist Politician and Imam

"I will ensure your immortality."- Maximilien J. B. R. Lucien, Ravau (General) and Socialist Politician

"Maximilien, I refuse to be immortal. The world has more than enough heroic figures at present. Besides, I retain no desire to transform into a martyr and I lack the charisma to become a symbol for Communism. All I want, all I have ever wanted, is peace and equality for all. Allah willing, I shall live to see that wish fullfilled."- Ismael M. Basri, Socialist Politician and Imam

[Sino-Japanese Empire]

10/10 love it.
7/10 not bad.
10/10 for honesty and a nice ring.

"The ever present thought that Might makes Right is what drives the engine of ideology forward, note, I did say 'ideology' I did not say, Capitalism, Communism, Democracy, Fascism, Political Islam, Theocracy or any other specific ideology. But that all ideology is driven forward by the ever present thought of conflict making all things better and correct." - Yi Min, Political Scholar - 1978

[Old Tyrannia]

Hmmm... 6/10. Interesting but not really funny, insightful or thought provoking.

"So, this is what foreigners call a 'buh-ger'? Not bad, but I wonder why they swear by the damned thing."
- Marcus Lartius Bellorum, first Prime Minister of the Tyrannian Empire
