    People who think they know everything are very irritating
    to those of us who do.

    “Be Americans. Let there be no sectionalism, no North, South, East or West. You are all dependent on one another and should be one in union. In one word, be a nation. Be Americans, and be true to yourselves.” – George Washington

    We badly need this one nowadays.

    This last quote I wrote above should have read, “People who think they know everything
    are very irritating to those of us who do.” One realizes I left out a word.
    And now I have still forgotten whoit was that made that quote.

    It seems the only General George Patton quote in my book of quotes is this one:
    “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard
    die for his.”

    I was just reading a book of quotes

    “America is like a healthy body, and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within.”

    Joseph Stalin

    I found this quote interesting with the controversial American elections

    “People who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.”
    Joseph Stalin
