Community

A closet Catholic and a lapsed Mormon, quarreling over religious procedures that they both claimed not to believe in."

That's what the SEAL instructors were looking for: men and women who could disregard the pleadings of the body. Pain was nothing, sleep was nothing. What was chaffed skin, wrecked muscles, bleeding sores? The body chooses to be sore. The body chooses to be exhausted. But the SEAL mind rejects it. The SEAL mind commands the body, not the other way around."

Motivation

"If you try and lose then it isn't your fault. But if you don't try and we lose, then it's all your fault."

Psychology

"My father always said that government is like watching another man piss in your boot. Someone feels better but it certainly isn't you."

Politics

"Personal affection is a luxury you can have only after all your enemies are eliminated. Until then, everyone you love is a hostage, sapping your courage and corrupting your judgment."
