You don't hurt 'em if you don't hit 'em. ~ Chesty Puller
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Chesty Puller
I've always believed that no officer's life, regardless of rank, is of such great value to his country that he should seek safety in the rear ... Officers should be forward with their men at the point of impact. ~ Chesty Puller
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Chesty Puller
My definition, the definition that I've always believed in, is that esprit de corps means love for one's own military legion - in my case, the United States Marine Corps. It means more than self-preservation, religion, or patriotism. I've also learned that this loyalty to one's corps travels both ways: up and down. ~ Chesty Puller
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Chesty Puller
Paperwork will ruin any military force. ~ Chesty Puller
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Chesty Puller
In the Marine Corps, your buddy is not only your classmate or fellow officer, but he is also the Marine under your command. If you don't prepare yourself to properly train him, lead him, and support him on the battlefield, then you're going to let him down. That is unforgivable in the Marine Corps. ~ Chesty Puller
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Chesty Puller
My definition, a definition in the drill books from the time that General Von Steuben wrote the regulations for General George Washington, the definition of the object of military training is success in battle ... It wouldn't be any sense to have a military organization on the backs of the American taxpayers with any other definition. ~ Chesty Puller
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Chesty Puller
They're on our right, they're on our left, they're in front of us, they're behind us; they can't get away from us this time. ~ Chesty Puller
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Chesty Puller
What the American people want to do is fight a war without getting hurt. You can't do that any more than you can get into a barroom fight without getting hurt ... Unless the American people are willing to send their sons out to fight an aggressor, there just isn't going to be any United States. ~ Chesty Puller
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Chesty Puller
Where the hell do you put the bayonet? ~ Chesty Puller
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Chesty Puller
Old breed? New breed? There's not a damn bit of difference so long as it's the Marine breed. ~ Chesty Puller
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Chesty Puller
For in grief nothing "stays put." One keeps on emerging from a phase, but it always recurs. Round and round. Everything repeats. Am I going in circles, or dare I hope I am on a spiral?
But if a spiral, am I going up or down it?
How often
will it be for always?
how often will the vast emptiness astonish me like a complete novelty and make me say, "I never realized my loss till this moment"? The same leg is cut off time after time. ~ C.S. Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by C.S. Lewis
This demand is valuable in various ways. In the first place it diminishes pleasure while increasing desire. The pleasure of novelty is by its very nature more subject than any other to the law of diminishing returns. And continued novelty costs money, so that the desire for it spells avarice or unhappiness or both. And again, the more rapacious this desire, the sooner it must eat up all the innocent sources of pleasure and pass on to those the Enemy forbids. Thus ~ C.S. Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by C.S. Lewis
The creation of the mortgage bond market, a decade earlier, had extended Wall Street into a place it had never before been: the debts of ordinary Americans. ~ Michael Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Michael Lewis
Shortly after Christopher Columbus and his sailors returned from their voyage to the New World, a horrifying new disease began to make its way around the Old. The "pox," as it was often called, erupted with dramatic severity. ~ Peter Lewis Allen
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Peter Lewis Allen
People rely on intelligence to solve problems, and they are naturally baffled when comprehension proves impotent to effect emotional change. To the neocortical brain, rich in the power of abstractions, understanding makes all the difference, but it doesn't count for much in the neural systems that evolved before understanding existed. Ideas bounce like so many peas off the sturdy incomprehension of the limbic and reptilian brains. The dogged implicitness of emotional knowledge, its relentless unreasoning force, prevents logic from granting salvation just as it precludes self-help books from helping. The sheer volume and variety of self-help paraphernalia testify at once to the vastness of the appetite they address and their inability to satisfy it. (118) ~ Thomas Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Thomas Lewis
know,' said the Mouse. 'Of course,' the Dodo replied very gravely. 'What else have you got in your pocket?' he went ~ Lewis Carroll
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Lewis Carroll
We are born helpless. As soon as we are fully conscious we discover loneliness. We need others physically, emotionally, and intellectually. We need them if we are to know anything, even ourselves. ~ C.S. Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by C.S. Lewis
The same system that once gave us subprime mortgage collateralized debt obligations no investor could possibly truly understand now gave us stock market trades that occurred at fractions of a penny at unsafe speeds using order types that no investor could possibly truly understand. ~ Michael Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Michael Lewis
Control Master Theory proposes that most psychological problems are the result of our altruistic impulses run amok. ~ Lewis Engel
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Lewis Engel
Chilli dawgs always bark at night. ~ Lewis Grizzard
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Lewis Grizzard
Infinite hopes - and fears - may both be yours. Be sure that, whatever else you get, you will not get justice." "Are the gods not just?" "Oh no, child. What would become of us if they were? But ~ C.S. Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by C.S. Lewis
The Rilo Kiley song 'A Better Son/Daughter' is my most requested song - especially for people who are at the age I was when I wrote it. It's sort of a mid-twenties lament. ~ Jenny Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Jenny Lewis
The Four Horsemen whose Ride presages the end of the world are known to be Death, War, Famine, and Pestilence. But even less significant events have their own Horsemen. For example, the Four Horsemen of the Common Cold are Sniffles, Chesty, Nostril, and Lack of Tissues; the Four Horsemen whose appearance foreshadows any public holiday are Storm, Gales, Sleet, and Contra-flow. ~ Terry Pratchett
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Terry Pratchett
The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of men, and His compulsion is our liberation. ~ C.S. Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by C.S. Lewis
Your book bill ought to be your biggest extravagance. ~ C.S. Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by C.S. Lewis
One always feel better when one has made up one's mind. ~ C.S. Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by C.S. Lewis
You have gone into the Temple ... and found Him, as always, there. ~ C.S. Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by C.S. Lewis
Rumors and reports of man's relation with animals are the world's oldest news stories, headlined in the stars of the zodiac, posted on the walls of prehistoric caves, inscribed in the languages of Egyptian myth, Greek philosophy, Hindu religion, Christian art, our own DNA. Belonging within the circle of mankind's intimate acquaintance ... constant albeit speechless companions, they supplied energies fit to be harnessed or roasted. ~ Lewis H. Lapham
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Lewis H. Lapham
For survivors of prolonged, repeated trauma, it is not practical to approach each memory as a separate entity. There are simply too many incidents, and often similar memories have blurred together. Usually, however, a few distinct and particularly meaningful incidents stand out. Reconstruction of the trauma narrative is often based heavily upon these paradigmatic incidents, with the understanding that one episode stands for many. ~ Judith Lewis Herman
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Judith Lewis Herman
When we are moved by art we are grateful that the artist lived, grateful that he labored in the service of his gifts. ~ Lewis Hyde
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Lewis Hyde
During the first formative centuries of its existence, Christianity was separated from and indeed antagonistic to the state, with which it only later became involved. From the lifetime of its founder, Islam was the state, and the identity of religion and government is indelibly stamped on the memories and awareness of the faithful from their own sacred writings, history, and experience. ~ Bernard Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Bernard Lewis
They tell us the people we love are 72.8% water-
there is no such thing as crying,
we are only trying to turn ourselves inside out.
This is a noble pursuit. ~ Lewis Mundt
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Lewis Mundt
-and when it was over they wished it was going to begin again. ~ C.S. Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by C.S. Lewis
I don't pray so that I can change God. I pray so that God can change me. ~ C.S. Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by C.S. Lewis
When we have been badly injured and clearly wronged, we make an instant caricature of the person who did it to us. We define him totally by the one wrong he did. ~ Lewis B. Smedes
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Lewis B. Smedes
Other than heaven, the only place where one's heart is completely safe from the dangers of love is hell. ~ C.S. Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by C.S. Lewis
The very last thing I want to do is to unsettle in the mind of any Christian, whatever his denomination, the concepts
for him traditional
by which he finds it profitable to represent to himself what is happening when he receives the bread and wine. I could wish that no definitions had ever been felt to be necessary; and, still more, that none had been allowed to make divisions between churches. ~ C.S. Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by C.S. Lewis
In hunting and agriculture work had been a sacred function, one of collaborating with the forces of nature, and invoking the gods of fertility and organic abundance to countenance with their favor the efforts of the human community: pious exaltation and cosmic wonder mingled with strenuous muscular exercise and meticulous ritual. But for those who were drafted into the megamachine, work ceased to be a sacred function, willingly performed, with many pleasurable rewards in both the act and its fruition: it became a curse. ~ Lewis Mumford
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Lewis Mumford
It isn't necessary to seek out adventure. Opening to what is around you will produce the most extraordinary experiences. ~ Edward B. Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Edward B. Lewis
Children have one kind of silliness, as you know, and grown-ups have another kind. ~ C.S. Lewis

Government doesn't do much for the new Americans. The assumption is that they'll take care of themselves if they work hard enough. ~ David Levering Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by David Levering Lewis
I seemed to hear God saying, Put down your gun and we'll talk. ~ C.S. Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by C.S. Lewis
The greatest evil is not done in those sordid dens of evil that Dickens loved to paint ... but is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clear, carpeted, warmed, well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices. ~ C.S. Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by C.S. Lewis
I would say the country is a different country. It is a better country. The signs I saw when I was growing up are gone and they will not return. In many ways the walls of segregation have been torn down. ~ John Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by John Lewis
The ugliest man alive is an angel of beauty compared with the loveliest of the dead. ~ C.S. Lewis
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by C.S. Lewis
Had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything; ~ Lewis Carroll
Lewis Chesty Puller quotes by Lewis Carroll
