“It is not the critic who counts...
not the man who points out where the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

Teddy Roosevelt, 1910

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

Colonel Nathan R. Jessup (Jack Nicholson) in "A Few Good Men"

Then Y'shua said to them, "When I sent you out without a wallet, traveling bag, or sandals, you didn't lack anything, did you?" "Not a thing!" they answered. Then he said to them, "But now, the person who has a wallet and a traveling bag should take them along. The person who doesn't have a sword (a weapon of personal defense) should sell his coat and buy one.
(Luk 22:35-36)

If you build a man a fire, he will be warm for a day... If you set a man on fire, he will be warm for the rest of his life.

"Speed is not part of the true Way of strategy. Speed implies that things seem fast or slow, according to whether or not they are in rhythm. Whatever the Way, the master of strategy does not appear fast."
--Miyamoto Musashi

If you ever see a GrandMaster USPSA(IPSC) shooter like Todd Jarrett, Rob Leatham, Matt Burkett, Phil Strader shoot and this is easy to understand. They move so efficiently through a stage and don't have unnecessary movements during the draw, reload and movement. It gives them more time for the shooting and makes them appear slow (but the timer says otherwise).
