Francis sits in the big chair this month for Code of Honor. He starts us with more von Clausewitz, then Martin bookends it with GK Chesterton, and Robert hammers it home like Thor with Mighty Mjolnir using poet Diane Ackerman. This one is Hall of Fame material listeners, download and archive it.
Our quotes this time:
Francis – “There are very few men, and they are the exceptions, who are able to think and feel beyond the present moment.” (Von Clausewitz)
Martin – “I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act, but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.” ( K. Chesterton)
Robert – “I don’t want to get to the end of my life and find I’ve only lived the length of it. I want to live the width of it as well.” (Diane Ackerman)

Second Friday once again so time for another "words to live by" episode. Robert starts us off this time, and we consider the nature of freedom and humanity through the words of Shakespeare, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and J. Michael Straczynski.
Yes, we're serious.
Our quotes this time:
Robert – “Respect for the inherent dignity of the human person.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church)
Martin – “Men at sometimes are master of their fates, the fault, my dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.” (Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar)
Francis – “No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand. Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.” ( Michael Straczynski)

In the first of a recurring series publishing every second Friday, the guys discuss some 'words to live by'. Martin kicks it off with a great PJ O'Rourke line that has become his motto. Francis goes Star Trek, and Robert of course brings it full circle with humanism and faith.
Our quotes this time are:
"It's one thing to burn down the outhouse, its another to install plumbing" by P. J. O'Rourke in his book Holidays In Hell;
"It has always been easier to destroy than to create", spoken by Spock in Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan but written by Gene Roddenberry, Harve Bennett, Jack B. Sowards and Nicholas Meyer (with some help from Samuel L. Peeples), and,
"Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve." by Napoleon Hill.
