“If men make war in slavish obedience to rules, they will fail.”
Ulysses S. Grant
“Aragorn: Hold your ground, hold your ground. Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day. This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you *stand, Men of the West!*”
J.R.R. Tolkien
“Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.”
Douglas Bader
“There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "All right, then, have it your way”
C.S. Lewis
“Good men must not obey the laws too well.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“He who cannot obey himself will be commanded. That is the nature of living creatures.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Obedience keeps the rules. Love knows when to break them.”
