Corps Quotations

There's a mindset of flexibility and adaptability that comes with us. We don't mind hardship. We don't mind somebody saying, 'Go in and do this nasty job.' Whatever the job is, we can do it. That's why the nation has a Marine Corps.
James F. Amos

The Marine Corps is the Navy's police force and as long as I am President that is what it will remain. They have a propaganda machine that is almost equal to Stalin's.
Harry S. Truman

So the Marine Corps really did teach me to conquer fear, and then to go for higher causes, higher purposes.
Robert Kiyosaki

My entire life has been an attempt to get back to the kind of feelings you have on a field. The sense of brotherhood, the esprit de corps, the focus - there being no past or future, just the ball. As trite as it sounds, I was happiest playing ball.
David Duchovny

I'm not scared of very much. I've been hit by lightning and been in the Marine Corps for four years.
Lee Trevino
