Does anyone have a collection of quotes by such famous men as MacArthur,
Eisenhower, Pershing, Teddy Roosevelt, etc. or know of a
bookstore/library/FTP site where I can acquire such a collection? Thanks
in advance.

I do not resent criticism, even when, for the sake of emphasis, it parts
for the time with reality.
