 * Good point. I've added a cleanup tag, deleted the transcription of an entire scene (a copyright violation), and placed everything except the opening line under the standard "Unidentified episode" heading per Templates/TV shows. I've also properly sourced the opening line with its first episode and date. I'm afraid I must leave the rest of the work for others, at least for now. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:37, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Stonewall Jackson

Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson (January 21, 1824 – May 10, 1863) was a Virginian teacher and soldier. He became a famous Confederate general during the American Civil War as a corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia under General Robert E. Lee.

Quotes

 * The time for war has not yet come, but it will come and that soon; and when it does come my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard.
 * Speech to cadets at the Virginia Military Institute (March 1861); as quoted in The War (1910) by James H. Wood; this has sometimes been paraphrased as "When war does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard."

 * If the general government should persist in the measures now threatened, there must be war. It is painful enough to discover with what unconcern they speak of war and threaten it. They do not know its horrors. I have seen enough of it to make me look upon it as the sum of all evils.
 * Comments to his pastor (April 1861) as quoted in Memoirs of Stonewall Jackson by His Widow Mary Anna Jackson (1895), Ch. IX : War Clouds — 1860 - 1861, p. 141; This has sometimes been paraphrased as "War is the sum of all evils." Before Jackson's application of the term "The sum of all evils" to war, it had also been applied to slavery by abolitionist Cassius Marcellus Clay in The Writings of Cassius Marcellus Clay : Including Speeches and Addresses (1848), p. 445; to death by Georg Christian Knapp in Lectures on Christian Theology (1845), p. 404; and it had also been used, apparently in relation to arrogance in a translation of "Homily 24" in The Homilies of S. John Chrysostom on the First Epistle of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians (1839), p. 331

 * Then, Sir, we will give them the bayonet!
 * Reply to Colonel Barnard E. Bee when he reported that the enemy were beating them back. At the First Battle of Bull Run (21 July 1861); as quoted in Stonewall Jackson As Military Commander (2000) by John Selby, p. 21

 * Yesterday we fought a great battle and gained a great victory, for which all the glory is due to God alone. Although under a heavy fire for several continuous hours I received only one wound, the breaking of the longest finger of my left hand; but the doctor says the finger may be saved. It was broken about midway between the hand and knuckle, the ball passing on the side next to the forefinger. Had it struck the centre, I should have lost the finger. My horse was wounded, but not killed. Your coat got an ugly wound near the hip, but my servant, who is very handy, has so far repaired it that it doesn't show very much. My preservation was entirely due, as was the glorious victory, to our God, to whom be all the honor, praise, and glory. The battle was the hardest that I have ever been in, but not near so hot in its fire.
 * Letter to his wife after the First Battle of Bull Run (22 July 1861); as quoted in Memoirs of Stonewall Jackson by His Widow Mary Anna Jackson (1895), Ch. XI : The First Battle of Manassas, p. 178

 * My dear pastor, in my tent last night, after a fatiguing day's service, I remembered that I failed to send a contribution for our colored Sunday school. Enclosed you will find a check for that object, which please acknowledge at your earliest convenience and oblige yours faithfully.
 * Letter to his pastor after the First Battle of Bull Run (22 July 1861); as quoted in The Religious Development of the Negro in Virginia (1914) by Joseph Brummell Earnest, p. 84

 * Nothing justifies profanity.
 * A wounded Jackson said to Captain John Imboden, after First Manassas (The Oxford Dictionary of Civil War Quotations, 2006)

 * Captain, my religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. Captain, that is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave.
 * Speaking to Captain John D. Imboden (24 July 1861), as quoted in Stonewall Jackson As Military Commander (2000) by John Selby, p. 25; sometimes quoted as "My religious beliefs teach me..."

 * In the Army of the Shenandoah, you were the First Brigade! In the Army of the Potomac you were the First Brigade! In the Second Corps of this Army, you are the First Brigade! You are the First Brigade in the affections of your general, and I hope by your future deeds and bearing you will be handed down the posterity as the First Brigade in this our Second War of Independence. Farewell!
 * Farewell address to his brigade, as he left to receive his promotion to Major General (4 October 1861)

 * Our men fought bravely, but the enemy repulsed me. Many valuable lives were lost. Our God was my shield. His protecting care is an additional cause for gratitude.
 * Letter to his wife from Mt. Jackson after the First Battle of Kernstown (24 March 1862), as quoted in Life and Campaigns of Lieut.-Gen. Thomas J. Jackson, (Stonewall Jackson) (1866) by Robert Lewis Dabney, p. 329

 * I yield to no man in sympathy for the gallant men under my command; but I am obliged to sweat them tonight, so that I may save their blood tomorrow. The line of hills southwest of Winchester must not be occupied by the enemy's artillery. My own must be there and in position by daylight. … You shall however have two hours rest.
 * To Col. Sam Fulkerson, who reported on the weariness of their troops and suggested that they should be given an hour or so to rest from a forced march in the night. (24 May 1862); as quoted in Mighty Stonewall (1957) by Frank E. Vandiver, p. 250

 * The only true rule for cavalry is to follow the enemy as long as he retreats.
 * Statement to Colonel Thomas T. Munford (13 June 1862); as quoted in Stonewall Jackson and the American Civil War (1904) by George Francis Robert Henderson Vol. I, Ch. XI p. 392

 * Who could not conquer with such troops as these?
 * Remark to his staff (25 August 1862), as quoted in Life of Lieut. Gen. Thomas J. Jackson (Stonewall Jackson) (1866) by Robert Lewis Dabney, p. 266

 * My men have sometimes failed to take a position, but to defend one, never!
 * Statement to Major Heros von Borcke (13 December 1862), as quoted in Memoirs of the Confederate War for Independence (1867) by Heros von Borcke, p. 301; this has been paraphrased as "My troops may fail to take a position, but are never driven from one!"

 * I see from the number of physicians that you think my condition dangerous, but I thank God, if it is His will, that I am ready to go. … It is the Lord's Day; my wish is fulfilled. … I have always desired to die on Sunday.
 * Words on his deathbed (9 - 10 May 1863); as quoted in "Stonewall Jackson's Last Days" by Joe D. Haines, Jr. in America's Civil War

 * Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees.
 * Last words (May 10, 1863); as quoted in "Stonewall Jackson's Last Days" by Joe D. Haines, Jr. in America's Civil War

 * I like liquor — its taste and its effects — and that is just the reason why I never drink it.
 * As quoted in Personal Reminiscences, Anecdotes, and Letters of Gen. Robert E. Lee (1874) by John William Jones, p. 171

 * I am more afraid of King Alcohol than of all the bullets of the enemy.
 * As quoted in Personal Reminiscences, Anecdotes, and Letters of Gen. Robert E. Lee (1874) by John William Jones, p. 171

 * Always mystify, mislead, and surprise the enemy, if possible; and when you strike and overcome him, never let up in the pursuit so long as your men have strength to follow; for an army routed, if hotly pursued, becomes panic-stricken, and can then be destroyed by half their number. The other rule is, never fight against heavy odds, if by any possible maneuvering you can hurl your own force on only a part, and that the weakest part, of your enemy and crush it. Such tactics will win every time, and a small army may thus destroy a large one in detail, and repeated victory will make it invincible.
 * As quoted in Battles and Leaders of the Civil War (1884 - 1888) edited by Robert Underwood Clarence C. Buel, Vol. II, p. 297

 * War means fighting. The business of the soldier is to fight. Armies are not called out to dig trenches, to throw up breastworks, to live in camps, but to find the enemy and strike him; to invade his country, and do him all possible damage in the shortest possible time. This will involve great destruction of life and property while it lasts; but such a war will of necessity be of brief continuance, and so would be an economy of life and property in the end. To move swiftly, strike vigorously, and secure all the fruits of victory is the secret of successful war.
 * As quoted in Stonewall Jackson and the American Civil War (1904) by George Francis Robert Henderson, Ch. 25 : The Soldier and the Man, p. 481

 * Through the broad extent of country over which you have marched by your respect for the rights and property of citizens, you have shown that you were soldiers not only to defend but able and willing to defend and protect.
 * As quoted in Shenandoah Valley Pioneers and Their Descendants : A History of Frederick County, Virginia (illustrated) from its formation in 1738 to 1908 (1989) by T. K. Cartmell, p. 322

 * Once you get them running, you stay right on top of them, and that way a small force can defeat a large one every time.
 * As quoted in The Civil War : An Illustrated History (1990) by Geoffrey C. Ward, Ken Burns, and Ric Burns, p. 272

 * The Institute will be heard from today.
 * Referring to the number of Virginia Military Institute alumni and former students among his officers; to Colonel Thomas T. Munford at the Battle of Chancellorsville (2 May 1863), as quoted in Chancellorsville (1996) by Stephen W. Sears, p. 242
 * An incorrect version of this quote, "the Virginia Military Institute will be heard from today" is carved on the base of a statue of Jackson at VMI according to VMI.edu

Life and Letters of General Thomas J. Jackson (1891)

 * Life and Letters of General Thomas J. Jackson (Stonewall Jackson) (1891) by Mary Anna Jackson PDF at Google Books

 * My duty is to obey orders.
 * Ch. 4 : The War with Mexico — 1846 - 1848, p. 45

 * We must make this campaign an exceedingly active one. Only thus can a weaker country cope with a stronger; it must make up in activity what it lacks in strength. A defensive campaign can only be made successful by taking the aggressive at the proper time. Napoleon never waited for his adversary to become fully prepared, but struck him the first blow.
 * Ch. 22 : The Last Happy Days — Chancellorsville — 1863, p. 429

Misattributed

 * Duty is ours; consequences are God's.
 * Though this was a favorite motto of Jackson, and reported as among his last words, it did not originate with him,he may have gotten it in his youth from someone who was a regular reader of "Poor Richard's" almanac.

 * Be content and resigned to God's will.
 * Robert E. Lee, in a letter to his wife (8 May 1861)

 * Easy, Mr. Pendleton. Easy. Good to have your dander up, but it’s discipline that wins the day.
 * These were lines in the film Gods And Generals (2003); they are not actual quotations of Jackson.

Jackson's personal book of maxims

 * This was a book of statements by others which Jackson had copied into a small book for his own use; published in Ch. 3 of Memoirs of Stonewall Jackson by His Widow Mary Anna Jackson (1895) they are sometimes quoted as statements by Jackson.

 * You may be whatever you resolve to be.
 * Note: This statement, often attributed to Jackson, is inscribed on the Jackson Arch barracks entrance at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia, where Jackson was a teacher in mathematics prior to the American Civil War. The VMI Board of Visitors voted to remove the words and Jackson's name from the arch in 2021.
 * Disregard public opinion when it interferes with your duty.

 * Sacrifice your life rather than your word.

 * Endeavor to do well with everything you undertake.

 * Never speak disrespectfully of anyone without a cause.

 * Spare no effort to suppress selfishness, unless that effort would entail sorrow.

 * Let your conduct towards men have some uniformity.

 * Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.

 * Speak but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.

 * Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself ; waste nothing.

 * Lose no time; be always employed in something useful; cut off unnecessary actions.

 * Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and if you speak, speak accordingly.

 * Wrong no man by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.

 * Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries as much as you think they deserve.

 * Be not disturbed at trifles, nor at accidents, common or unavoidable.

 * It is man's highest interest not to violate, or attempt to violate, the rules which Infinite Wisdom has laid down. The means by which men are to attain great elevation may be classed in three divisions — physical, mental, and moral. Whatever relates to health, belongs to the first; whatever relates to the improvement of the mind, belongs to the second. The formation of good manners and virtuous habits constitutes the third.

 * A man is known by the company he keeps.

 * Good-breeding, or true politeness, is the art of showing men by external signs the internal regard we have for them. It arises from good sense, improved by good company. It must be acquired by practice and not by books.

 * Be kind, condescending, and affable. Any one who has anything to say to a fellow-being, to say it with kind feelings and sincere desire to please; and this, whenever it is done, will atone for much awkwardness in the manner of expression.

 * Good-breeding is opposed to selfishness, vanity, or pride. Never weary your company by talking too long or too frequently.

 * Always look people in the face when addressing them, and generally when they address you.

 * Never engross the whole conversation to yourself. Say as little of yourself and friends as possible.

 * Make it a rule never to accuse without due consideration any body or association of men.

Quotes about Jackson

 * There stands Jackson like a stone wall — rally round the Virginians!
 * General Barnard Bee, during the First Battle of Bull Run, in an exclamation which was the origin of the nickname "Stonewall Jackson", as quoted in Freedom (1987) by William Safire, p. 60
 * Variants:
 * There is Jackson standing like a stone wall. Let us determine to die here, and we will conquer. Rally behind the Virginians.
 * As quoted in Lee's Lieutenants : A Study in Command (1946) by Douglas S. Freeman, Vol. 1, p. 82
 * Yonder stands Jackson like a stone wall, let's go to his assistance.
 * As quoted in Stonewall : A Biography of General Thomas J. Jackson (1993) by Byron Farwell, p. 180
 * Yonder stands Jackson like a stone wall. … Rally round the Virginians.
 * As quoted in What They Didn't Teach You About the Civil War (1998) by Mike Wright
 * There stands Jackson like a stone wall! Rally round the Virginians!
 * As quoted in Chancellorsville, 1863: Jackson's Lighting Strike (1998) by Carl Smith, p. 18
 * Rally around the Virginians, there stands Jackson like a stone wall.
 * As quoted in 25 Best Civil War Sites (2005) by Clint Johnson, Site 6 : Manassas

 * In the ranks and among the officers there had been heavy losses at Bull Run, the most grievous of which was that of General Bee whose claim to fame, aside from his bravery, comes from his rallying cry to his men during the battle: "There stands Jackson like a stone wall..." And from then on, it was as though Jackson had shed his rightful name of Thomas Johnathan to become forever "Stonewall".
 * Lamont Buchanan, A Pictorial History of the Confederacy (1951), p. 60

 * Lee, of course, was Lee. A South which had respected him, then come to adore him, now worshiped him. He was a man who grew in stature even as the cause for which he fought became less prosperous. The intensely religious Stonewall Jackson cared little for the glamor and trappings of war but believed in its righteousness with a fierceness that almost frightened those who did not know him. Comparatively, Lee was a gentle man with a mind that could not help seeing both sides of all controversies. Jackson first had to "see the right," then hell's fury could not deter him. Different as these two men were, they got along well, and each had great respect for the other. And when Lee was to hear of the wound to Jackson that later proved fatal, he wrote: "You have lost your left arm, but I have lost my right."
 * Lamont Buchanan, A Pictorial History of the Confederacy (1951), p. 99

 * Stonewall Jackson was an intensely religious man. Once when arms were not forthcoming from Ordnance, Jackson suggested that greater trust was needed in God, whereupon an irreligious soldier proclaimed that there were more prayers in Jackson's camp than muskets. When Lee congratulated him on the course of events at Chancellorsville, Jackson replied, "The General is very kind, but the praise belongs to God." There were those who remembered him as a stern disciplinarian, a driving drill master. But all respected him as a military leader and as a man. Wearing a battered old flat-topped forage hat that everybody knew, he would bring new heart to those who, upon seeing him, would shout to their fellows over the din of battle, "Here comes Old Jack!"
 * Lamont Buchanan, A Pictorial History of the Confederacy (1951), p. 173

 * As for Lee, long afterward in speaking of Gettysburg, he is reported to have remarked that he thought he could have carried the day if Stonewall Jackson had been at his side.
 * Lamont Buchanan, A Pictorial History of the Confederacy (1951), p. 191

 * Jackson fought for the constitutional rights of the South, and any one who imagines he fought for slavery knows nothing of Jackson.
 * William C. Chase, in Story of Stonewall Jackson : A Narrative of the Career of Thomas Jonathan (Stonewall) Jackson (1901), p. 203

 * It cannot well be denied that Jackson possessed every single attribute which makes for success in war. Morally and physically he was absolutely fearless.  He accepted responsibility with the same equanimity that he faced the bullets of the enemy. He permitted no obstacle to turn him aside from his appointed path, and in seizing an opportunity or in following up a victory he was the very incarnation of untiring energy. … A supreme activity, both of brain and body, was a prominent characteristic of his military life. His idea of strategy was to secure the initiative, however inferior his force; to create opportunities and to utilise them; to waste no time, and to give the enemy no rest. ...That he felt to the full the fascination of war's tremendous game we can hardly doubt. Not only did he derive, as all true soldiers must, an intense intellectual pleasure from handling his troops in battle so as to outwit and defeat his adversary, but from the day he first smelt powder in Mexico until he led that astonishing charge through the dark depths of the Wilderness his spirits never rose higher than when danger and death were rife about him. With all his gentleness there was much of the old Berserker about Stonewall Jackson, not indeed the lust for blood, but the longing to do doughtily and die bravely, as best becomes a man. His nature was essentially aggressive. He was never more to be feared than when he was retreating, and where others thought only of strong defensive positions he looked persistently for the opportunity to attack.
 * George Francis Robert Henderson in Stonewall Jackson and the American Civil War (1904), Ch. 25 : The Soldier and the Man, p. 480 - 481

 * In early 1861, Professor Thomas Jonathan Jackson was an unhappy, unpopular professor of artillery, optics, mathematics and astronomy at the Virginia Military Institute. Remarried after the death of his first wife, the deeply religious Jackson believed in predestination: Everything that happened to him was intended to happen. Conversely, one of his frequently stated maxims was, "You can be whatever you will." Guided by these two contradictory ideas, he became a fearless commander. If the Civil War had not happened, Jackson likely would have passed the rest of his life as a teacher, spending his spare time boning up on unfamiliar subjects, practicing his lectures, and spending time with his daughter. Instead, he was thrust into leadership positions. The Civil War changed his life forever, and his death changed the course of the war.
 * Emilee Hines, It Happened In Virginia (2010), second edition, p. 73

 * At the First Battle of Bull Run, three months after the opening of the war, Confederate troops were fleeing until Jackson took the field and not only stopped the retreat but ordered an attack. When he raised his left hand, it was shot through. He tied it up with a handkerchief and kept fighting. Soon the Union forces retreated, overrunning the spectators in carriages who had come out from Washington to "watch the war." Supposedly, General Barnard Bee pointed out Jackson and cried, "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall. Rally behind the Virginians." Thus Jackson acquired his nickname. After Bull Run, "Stonewall" Jackson was assigned to defend the Valley of Virginia, the "breadbasket of the Confederacy," a task he performed so brilliantly that military strategists still study his campaigns with awe. A strict disciplinarian, he drove his men almost to the breaking point, but after each battle he said prayers of thanksgiving and always reminded them that God was with them. In fact, Jackson's tactics were so effective that some military historians think that if the war had been fought only in Virginia, the Confederacy could have won. However, events elsewhere turned the tide. Jackson's part in the war lasted less than two years.
 * Emilee Hines, It Happened In Virginia (2010), second edition, p. 73-74

 * According to legend, Jackson's final words were, "Let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees." Then he died peacefully. When Jackson's body was taken through Richmond, accompanied by Confederate President Jefferson Davis and his cabinet, thousands turned out to mourn. General Lee called Jackson the world's best executive officer and said, "Jackson lost his left arm, but in him I have lost my right." In two years Jackson went from being a colonel teaching at a small military school to being a general known and revered throughout the Confederacy. He is the best-known Civil War commander, after Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee.
 * Emilee Hines, It Happened In Virginia (2010), second edition, p. 76

 * You are better off than I am, for while you have lost your left, I have lost my right arm.
 * Robert E. Lee, in a letter to Jackson shortly before Jackson died; referring to Jackson as his right arm, as quoted in The Oxford Dictionary of Civil War Quotations (2006)

 * Jackson neither apologized for nor spoke in favor of the practice of slavery. He probably opposed the institution. Yet in his mind the Creator had sanctioned slavery, and man had no moral right to challenge its existence. The good Christian slaveholder was one who treated his servants fairly and humanely at all times.
 * James I. Robertson, Stonewall Jackson : The Man, The Soldier, The Legend (1997)

 * Returning home on leave following my second year at West Point, I called on a great-uncle who had joined the Confederate Army at the age of sixteen and had fought in a number of major Civil War battles, including Gettysburg, and had been with Robert E. Lee at Appamatox. My Uncle White was the younger brother of my grandfather. He hated Yankees and Republicans, not necessarily in that order, and talked derisively about both. When I visited, he was seated in a wheel chair, in grudging acquiescence to the infirmities of age. Tobacco juice decorated his shirt and stains around a spittoon on the floor testified to the inaccuracy of his aim. Flies buzzed through screenless windows. "What are you doing with yourself, son?" Uncle White asked. I answered the old veteran with trepidation. "I'm going to that same school that Grant and Sherman went to, the Military Academy at West Point, New York." Uncle White was silent for what seemed like a long time. "That's all right, son," he said at last. "Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson went there too."

Talk:Robert A. Heinlein

Duplicate quotations
I've noticed the "Attributed"-section contained quotes which are already mentioned beforehand. I deleted those in the "Attributed"-section which were identical (three quotes). The other two that should be checked which is more correct are listed here including the difference(s) in brackets. They are:
 * A generation [without] OR [which ignores] history has no past— and no future.
 * History does not record anywhere [at any time] a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it. (Quoted from "Time Enough for Love" (1973), Intermission: Excerpts from the Notebooks of Lazarus Long" pp. 241-242)

Furthermore, I've added '(Note: 11th commandment according to Heinlein: Don't get yourself caught!)' to the corresponding quote in the same section. I'm not sure about the excact quote, I just cited it from memory, otherwise I'd have made up a new paragraph. OK, so much for my first wikiquote edit. ;) Omones 17:31, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Bolded quotes
Is there any specific reason why some passages are bolded, and some are not? Do the original sources read such? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 163.231.6.66 (talk • contribs) 09:49, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Bolding quotes is a common Wikiquote practice for editors to express their belief that a quote or portion of a quote is particularly interesting or essential. It is usually not the original formatting. There are differences of opinion as to whether this is appropriate, but allowing editor-selected bolding has been the prevailing sentiment since the early days of Wikiquote. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:47, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * It's my opinion that bolding of parts of quotes is a distortion of the material, and therefore should not be done, and that the bolding of only some quotes and not others is an expression of POV. 05:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * As I have stated many times, I believe quoting itself must always involve some exercise of "POV" as to what people find interesting, and bolding is just a further part of the selection and presentation process that permits famous or significant portions of larger statements to stand out on a page, though more extensive passages and other quotes are often needed for elucidating the fullest context. ~ Kalki 17:04, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

 * You are certainly right that the selection of a quote is, inherently, an expression of point of view (or individual taste, which amounts to the same thing), and that same is true for the order and manner of presentation of the quotes, but I think it's wrong to believe that because that is the case, the quoter is also free to alter the quote to suit their POV. It's a basic premise of quotation that you do not alter the text you are quoting without in some way letting the reader know that you have done so, with the use of brackets and ellipses, which indicate the editing that has been done.  (And even then, the quoter is responsible for making sure that the editing hasn't altered the meaning of the quote.)  Bolding is emphasis, and it's not the quoter's job to alter the originator's emphasis without in some way indicating that a change has been made.  (The usual method is to add "Emphasis added" to the end of the quote.) Ed Fitzgerald 03:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Re-merging
I understand the preference to keep an author's quotes all together, but this page just took an appreciable amount of time to load on my computer. It is clearly too long. Ed Fitzgerald 05:34, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I re-merged it simply because many of the "Lazarus Long" quotations are among Heinlein's most famous, and the page seemed rather gutted without them. The load times with slower connections or computers are one of the problems of using images, but I feel that they definitely make pages more interesting, and that is one of the trade-offs of using them. I have reduced the size of the images a bit, which should help a little. If others wish it, the page could be made separate again, but at least a few samples from "The Notebooks" should remain. ~ Kalki 17:04, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The 6 seperate pages for the books should be merged with this page to make it like it is with every other author. ̴̴CensoredScribe (talk) 06:59, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Three-legged stool of understanding quote?
Does anyone have a source for the quote (mentioned in the Wall Street Journal recently ) that "the three-legged stool of understanding is held up by history, languages and mathematics . . . if you lack any one of them you are just another ignorant peasant with dung on your boots"? I think it would make a good addition to this page (and I'm personally curious). --75.15.127.3 03:32, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The three-legged stool of understanding is held up by history, languages, and mathematics. Equipped with these three you can learn anything you want to learn. But if you lack any one of them you are just another ignorant peasant with dung on your boots.
 * This has been cited as a statement of Heinlein's alter-ego Lazarus Long, but off-hand I don't know what book it might be from. ~ Pan 05:21, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * This is actually Heinlein as himself in "The Happy Days Ahead" — the last essay in Expanded Universe (1980) ~ Kalki 06:42, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

If This Goes On, 1940
"When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything--you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, If This Goes On, 1940 User:84.215.33.243 10:06, 14 March 2010

Divide sections?
This is in regards to this, is it possible to divide the quotes separately from the two books? I understand the desire to list them alongside one another if they are linked, but it is a very long title and a ridiculously large section. I think it would be easier to read as well as to confirm these references if we were to divide them. Dictabeard 19:06, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe this section heading is unfortunate, and dislike it myself — because it implies that there is a combination innately involved. I actually believe there probably were no quotes from The Notebooks of Lazarus Long which were not already in TIme Enough for Love — and the proper place for noting the Notebooks is in a comment below the heading, which I believe was the original layout — which I will double check now and probably revert to. ~ Kalki (talk · contributions) 20:36, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I reverted to the earlier form of having that section heading denote Time Enough for Love — the comments which were still intact there confirmed my impressions in making the above comments. ~ Kalki (talk · contributions) 20:40, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Run in circles, scream and shout
I heard the quote, "When in trouble or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout," from someone whom I know I have not seen since 1975, and probably before 1970, in a context that gave the impression that he was quoting someone else. For that reason I doubt that it was original with Heinlein in a 1985 work.
 * I first encountered this (with "danger" rather than "trouble") in the 1970's (possibly Alfred Bester or Harlan Ellison), but it is older than that. It was popularized in "literature" by Herman Wouk, The Caine Mutiny (1951), which describes it as an ancient adage. It can be found in print journals as early as the 1920s (Infantry Journal, Vol. 35, (1929), p. 369), and is usually described as an old saying in the navy or in the army. ~ Ningauble 14:57, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Please can't someone give a proper citation?
Why is it that it seems okay to 'cite' a quote with just the book title?

What good is that?

It is next to useless, a tiny step above listing the source by the author's name.

Whoever found the quote had to have dug it out of the book to put it on the site so why the blazes was it allowed to just be put up naked without any decent coverage such as at the very least Chapter!!!! But the best policy would be page number and the year of your edition that you are citing.

Why is it an acceptable practice to just give the authors name?????

Laziness! And next to useless!

I came to wikiquote because on my first look you were the only place on the web to give proper citations, but here I found just useless worthless junk! It all in the ends is a bunch of attributed to the author, since there is no actual evidence of a citation. It all has to be assumed that it is made up by whoever posted it.

I guess I will have to spend sometime and help out and fix this mess.

I'm new here... but I will create a user name of GJaron.
 * Further citations beyond a stories title and date are often useful, and I tend to recommend at least chapter level citations generally, when these are available, but these are not considered necessary by all, and in a compendium on the internet citations to works can usually be easily checked and verified from multiple published sources. Any additional work on extending citations or quotes is always welcome. ~ ♞☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 17:04, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I would also say that if you have an electronic copy, or if we have a book with multiple versions available, a page number is less useful than you would think. You would have to provide a lot more information to make clear which version and format of the book you have in order for it to be meaningful. Not that there is a major problem doing so, but it would involve paying close attention to many details. --Douglaspperkins (talk) 11:52, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I tend to agree page numbers are far less useful or necessary in the present internet era; they still are useful in citing original or single editions of works, or magazines, but I have long preferred simple chapter citations when possible — and do not insist on those, when a general source work is provided, though such divisions become more useful, when quotes from a single work are more than a few. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 12:32, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Wrong book?
The quote, "Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done. One could write a history of science in reverse by assembling the solemn pronouncements of highest authority about what could not be done and could never happen." is listed as being from "The Rolling Stones". I cannot find it in the book. Can anyone confirm that it's there? Searching the ePub for the word "theoretically", for example, has zero results. --Douglaspperkins (talk) 11:49, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

I think this Heinlein page is missing the famous (in some quarters at least) quote "Specialization is for insects.". --Mortense (talk) 11:31, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

"Sin lies only in hurting others unnecessarily. ... "
I saw this quote on a user's page, attributed to Heinlein, and linked to this article: "Sin lies only in hurting others unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense." However, I can't find it here. Was the quote discovered not to be Heinlein's words? If so, whose words are they?

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Omones. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Omones~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:31, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Triumph of the Will

Triumph of the Will (German: Triumph des Willens) is a 1935 propaganda film chronicling the 1934 Nazi Party Congress in Nuremberg. The film contains excerpts of speeches given by Nazi leaders at the Congress, including Adolf Hitler, Rudolf Hess and Julius Streicher, interspersed with footage of massed Sturmabteilung (SA) and Schutzstaffel (SS) troops and public reaction. Its overriding theme is the return of Germany as a great power with Hitler as its leader. It became a major example of film used as propaganda and was well-received at home. Riefenstahl's techniques—such as moving cameras, aerial photography, the use of long-focus lenses to create a distorted perspective, and the revolutionary approach to the use of music and cinematography—have earned Triumph of the Will recognition as one of the greatest propaganda films in history.
 * Directed by Leni Riefenstahl. Written by Leni Riefenstahl, Walter Ruttmann, and Eberhard Taubert.

Opening

 * {Screen text after opening credits}
 * On 5 September 1934...
 * 20 years after the outbreak of the World War...
 * 16 years after Germany's Passion...
 * 19 months after the beginning of the German Rebirth...
 * Adolf Hitler again flew to Nuremberg to review the assembly of his faithful followers.

Adolf Hitler

 * It is our will that this state shall endure for a thousand years. We are happy to know that the future is ours entirely!

 * We want this people to be hard, not soft, and you must steel yourselves for it in your youth!

 * Our party remains as firm as this rock and will not be divided by any force in Germany.

 * When our party had only seven men, it already had two principles. First, it wanted to be a party with a true ideology. And second, it wanted to be the one and only power in Germany.

 * All upright Germans will be National Socialists, but only the best National Socialists will be party members!

 * It is not the State that orders us; but it is we who order the State!

Josef Wagner

 * {Reading an excerpt from Hitler's official proclamation}: No revolution could last forever without leading to total anarchy. Just as the world cannot exist on wars, so they cannot exist on revolutions. Nothing truly great on this earth has ruled for millennia and was forged in decades. The tallest tree has the strongest growth behind it. What must withstand centuries must also need centuries for it to become strong!

Alfred Rosenberg

 * It is our unshakable belief in ourselves, it is our hope for today's valued youth, who courageously are charging forward and will one day be called upon to continue the efforts begun in the stormy years of the 1918 Revolution, an event which has gripped all of Germany and the historical importance of which is already being embodied today by the entire German Reich.

Otto Dietrich

 * Truth is the basis on which the power of the press stands and falls. Our only demand of the foreign press and our own press, is that they report the truth about Germany.

Fritz Reinhardt

 * Wherever one looks, progress develops, improvements are being made, and new values created. And wherever one looks since last year, there is much industrious activity that will continue in the future.

Julius Streicher

 * A people that does not protect its racial purity will perish!

Robert Ley

 * One thought must alone dominate all our work: to make the German worker an upright, upstanding, proud and decent citizen, enjoying equal rights with the rest of the Reich!

Hans Frank

 * As chief of the German justice system, I can only say that since the National Socialist legal system is the foundation of the National Socialist State, for us, our supreme Führer is also supreme judge. And since we know how sacred the principles of justice are to our Führer, we can assure you, fellow citizens, that your life and existence is secure in this National Socialist State of order, freedom, and law!

Josef Goebbels

 * May the bright flame of enthusiasm never be extinguished. It alone gives light and warmth to the creative art of modern political propaganda. This art rose from the depths of the people and in order to search out its roots and locate its power, it must always return to these depths. It may be alright to possess power based upon guns, it is however better and more gratifying to win and also to champion the hearts of the people.

Rudolf Hess

 * {Opening Speech}: I am opening this, our Sixth Party Congress, in respectful remembrance of Field Marshal, and President of the Reich, Von Hindenburg, who has passed into eternity. We remember the Field Marshal as the first soldier of the Great War, and, thus, also remember our fallen comrades. I welcome the esteemed representatives of foreign nations who honor the Party by their presence, and the Party, in sincere friendship, welcomes especially the representatives of the military forces, now under the command of the Führer. My Führer, around you are gathered the flags and standards of National Socialism. Only when their cloth will have decayed, will humanity looking back, be able to comprehend what you, my Führer, mean to Germany. You are Germany, when you act, the nation acts, when you judge, the people judge! Our gratitude is the pledge to stand by you, through good days and bad, come whatever may. Thanks to your leadership, Germany will achieve her aim to become the homeland -- the homeland for all Germans in the world. You have been the guarantor of victory, you are for us the guarantor of peace! Adolf Hitler!

 * {To the audience after Hitler has given the closing speech}:The Party is Hitler! Hitler, however, is Germany, just as Germany is Hitler! Hitler! Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!

Dialogue

 * [Konstantin Hierl, Chief of the Reich Labor Service Corps, presents Hitler with 52,000 members of the Reicharbeitsdienst (RAD - Reich Labor Service)]
 * Konstantin Hierl: My Führer! I report 52,000 Labor Services men for roll call.
 * Adolf Hitler: Hail, my Labor Service men!
 * All 52,000 Men {in thundering unison}: Hail, my Führer!

 * [Reicharbeitsdienst (RAD) Group Speech]
 * RAD Group [speaking in unison]: Here we stand, ready to carry Germany into a new era. Germany!
 * RAD Group Leader [with a fanatical expression on his face]: Comrade, where are you from?
 * 1st RAD Man: From Friesland.
 * RAD Group Leader: And you, comrade, where are you from?
 * 2nd RAD Man: From Bavaria.
 * RAD Group Leader: And you?
 * 3rd RAD Man: From Kaiserstuhl
 * 4th RAD Man: From Pomerania.
 * 5th RAD Man: And from Königsberg.
 * 6th RAD Man: From Silesia.
 * 7th RAD Man: From the seaside.
 * 8th RAD Man: From the Black Forest.
 * 9th RAD Man: From Dresden.
 * 10th RAD Man: From the Danube.
 * 11th RAD Man: From the Rhine.
 * 12th RAD Man: And from the Saar.
 * RAD Group: [speaking in unison] One Nation, one Leader, one Reich. GERMANY!

Talk:United States Bill of Rights

I'm changing the title from the generic "Bill of Rights" to the more specific "United States Bill of Rights". All of the quotes are referring to the U.S. Bill of Rights, not just any Bill of Rights for any country (such as the English Bill of Rights). Now we will also be able to put a wikiquote link on the wikipedia article U.S. Bill of Rights. Petrichor 21:36, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Unsourced

 * The very first item in our Bill of Rights is freedom of the press, freedom of speech.
 * Roy Barnes

 * Without adherence to the original understanding, even the actual Bill of Rights could be pared or eliminated. It is asserted nonetheless, and sometimes on high authority, that the judicial philosophy of original understanding is fatally defective in any number of respects.
 * Robert Bork

 * The Framers of the Bill of Rights did not purport to "create" rights. Rather, they designed the Bill of Rights to prohibit our Government from infringing rights and liberties presumed to be preexisting.
 * William J. Brennan, Jr.

 * The Bill of Rights is a born rebel. It reeks with sedition. In every clause it shakes its fist in the face of constituted authority... it is the one guarantee of human freedom to the American people.
 * Frank I. Cobb

 * The whole of the Bill [of Rights] is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals... It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of.
 * Albert Gallatin

 * You must remember that, to defeat them, you have to beat them with the principles that this nation was founded upon, man's inalienable right to his own life, Andrew.
 * Dr. Goldstone

 * The Declaration of rights is like all other human blessings alloyed with some inconveniences, and not accomplishing fully its object. But the good in this instance vastly overweighs the evil.
 * Thomas Jefferson

 * A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inferences.
 * Thomas Jefferson

 * We have the Bill of Rights. What we need is a Bill of Responsibilities.
 * Bill Maher

 * Like the government, corporations must be bound with the chains of the Constitution, and especially of the Bill of Rights.
 * L. Neil Smith
