Two Quotes

Just two quotes that I just came across that I want to remember:

"America is unique in the history of the world. In the history of the world, whenever there's been conflict, the nation that wins takes land from the nation that loses. One nation in history, and this during the last century, laid down hundreds of thousands of lives and took no land: no land from Germany, no land from Korea, no land from Japan. America is unique in the sacrifice it has made for liberty, for itself and for freedom-loving people around the world."

~Shimon Peres (French Prime Minister)


"The only land we took after the last great conflict was enough land to bury our dead."

~Colin Powell (United States Army General)
