In reference to the Philippine Air Force in the '60s...
The Air Force was at its peak in the Sixties. I was a young captain then, and even the fuel, my uniform, my helmet - everything - was paid for by the Americans. When I commanded an F-5 squadron, I had 22 brand-new F-5s. Our maintenance personnel were also trained by the Americans. You could say that it was [the] United States Air Force run by Filipinos. -Lt. Gen. Antonio Sotelo, PAF (ret.) |

Ok guys, who said this and to who was he referring:
"People said he was handsome then; but I don't believe it. He was big, burly, noisy, small-eyed, large-faced, double-chinned, swinish-looking fellow in later life and it is not easy to believe that so bad a character can ever have been veiled under a pre-possessing appearance. The plain truth is, that he was a most intolerable ruffian, a disgrace to human nature, and a blot of blood and grease upon the history of England, and one of the most detestable villains that ever drew breath." Hint. he is not talking about Brown:D |
Cromwell on Charles I?
EDIT: That didn't sound too likely...Dickens on Henry VIII? (I wouldn't know, searched it on google) |

Ships Are Safe in the Harbour
All I live for is now All I stand for is where and how All I wish for are magic moments As I sail through change My resolve remains the same What I chose are magic moments Because ships are safe in the harbour But that is not what ships are made for The mind could stretch much further But it seems that is not what our minds are trained for We call for random order You can't control Mother nature's daughter Ships are safe in the harbour But that is not what ships are built for The witch hunter roams The scary thing is that he's not alone He's trying to down my magic moments As we sail through change Ride the wind of a silent rage And sing laments of magic moments |
