GUMBO FOR THE DUMBO

Courage is endurance for one moment more

A Marine should be sworn to the patient endurance of hardships, like the ancient knights; and it is not the least of these necessary hardships to have to serve with sailors.

"Semper Fidelis"

The bended knee is not a tradition of our Corps

Being ready is not what matters. What matters is winning after you get there

I am convinced that there is no smarter, handier, or more adaptable body of troops in the world

Do not attack the First Marine Division. Leave the yellowlegs alone. Strike the American Army. Orders given to Communist troops in the Korean War; shortly afterward, the Marines were ordered to not wear their khaki leggings.

The American Marines have it [pride], and benefit from it. They are tough, cocky, sure of themselves and their buddies. They can fight and they know it.

They (Women Marines) don't have a nickname, and they don't need one. They get their basic training in a Marine atmosphere, at a Marine Post. They inherit the traditions of the Marines. They are Marines.

I've always been proud of being a Marine. I won't hesitate to defend the Corps

Be polite and professional, extend every courtesy and have a plan to kill everyone in the room should the need arise

We signed up knowing the risk. Those innocent people in New York didn't go to work thinking there was any kind of risk.

You cannot exaggerate about the Marines. They are convinced to the point of arrogance, that they are the most ferocious fighters on earth - and the amusing thing about it is that they are

Retreat hell! We just got here

The MARINES have landed and have the situation well in hand

Sometimes it is entirely appropriate to kill a fly with a sledge-hammer

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf

The more MARINES I have around the better I like it

We're surrounded. That simplifies the problem

Hard pressed on my right. My center is yielding. Impossible to maneuver. Situation excellent. I am attacking

The deadliest weapon in the world is a MARINE and his rifle

I have only two men out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my righ

I love the Corps for those intangible possessions that cannot be issued: pride, honor, integrity, and being able to carry on the traditions for generations of warriors past.

You'll never get a Purple Heart hiding in a foxhole! Follow me!

Don't you forget that you're First Marines! Not all the communists in Hell can overrun you!

They told (us) to open up the Embassy, or "we'll blow you away." And then they looked up and saw the Marines on the roof with these really big guns, and they said in Somali, "Igaralli ahow," which means "Excuse me, I didn't mean it, my mistake".

Marines I see as two breeds, Rottweilers or Dobermans, because Marines come in two varieties, big and mean, or skinny and mean. They're aggressive on the attack and tenacious on defense. They've got really short hair and they always go for the throat.

The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!
