Blood gets you nothing but more blood. It follows me now, always, like my shadow, and like my shadow I can never be free of it. I should never be free from it. I've earned it. I've deserved it. I've sought it out. Such is my punishment."''

->''"The healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is its last day on Earth. But I think that's a luxury. Not a curse. To know you're close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take...inventory. Outgunned. Outnumbered. Out of our minds. On a suicide mission. But the sand and rocks here, stained with thousands of years of warfare...They will remember us. For this. Because out of all our vast array of nightmares, this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the Earth. With vigor in our hearts and one goal in sight: We. Will. Kill him."''

->''Let a man learn how to fight by first daring to perform mighty deeds, Not where the missiles won't reach, if he is armed with a shield, But getting in close where fighting is hand to hand, inflicting a wound. With his long spear or his sword, taking the enemy's life, With his foot planted alongside a foot and his shield pressed against shield, And his crest up against crest and his helm up against helm And breast against breast, embroiled in the action, he fights man against man, Holding secure in his grasp haft of his sword or his spear!''

->''But it must not be imagined that because he was a fine warrior he was less spiritual or less religious then his predecessors. He made religious fervour the backbone of all his warlike doctrines. He united practical skill with mystical meditation; and the results speak for themselves. He wrote many hymns; which setting aside those in praise of the sword, contain a stronger vein of pantheistic mysticism than do those of the other gurus. He also made greater claims for himself as a prophet.''

->''--An Irish Airman Foresees His Death--''\\
I know that I shall meet my fate\\
Somewhere among the clouds above;\\
Those that I fight I do not hate,\\
Those that I guard I do not love;\\
My country is Kiltartan Cross,\\
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,\\
No likely end could bring them loss\\
Or leave them happier than before.\\
\\
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,\\
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,\\
A lonely impulse of delight\\
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;\\
I balanced all, brought all to mind,\\
The years to come seemed waste of breath,\\
A waste of breath the years behind\\
In balance with this life, this death
-->--'''William Butler Yeats, 1919'''

I bow to the God of gods who is in the present and the future.\\
I bow to the Scimatar, the two-edged Sword, the Falchion, and the Dagger.\\
Thou, O God, hast over one form; Thou art over unchangeable.\\
I bow to the Holder of the Mace\\
Who diffused light through the fourteen worlds.\\
I bow to the Arrow and the Musket,\\
I bow to the Sword, spotless, fearless, and unbreakable;\\
I bow to the powerful Mace and Lance\\
To which nothing is equal.\\
I bow to him who holdeth the discus,\\
Who is not made of the elements and who is terrible.\\
I bow to the Arrow and the Cannon\\
Which destroy the enemy\\
I bow to the Sword and the Rapier\\
Which destroy the evil.\\
I bow to all weapons named Shastar (which may be held).\\
I bow to all weapons called Astar (which may be hurled or discharged).''
