I am in favor of no more war but as long as war clouds hover over the earth, as a citizen, I feel we should be prepared for the worst.

War

More quotes by Audie Murphy

It’s not how long, but how well one lives that matters the most.

Dedication address at the Alabama War Memorial Ceremony (1968)

War robs you mentally and physically, it drains you. Things don't thrill you anymore. It's a struggle everyday to find something interesting to do.

I don't know what bravery is, sometimes it takes more courage to get up and run than to stay. You either just do it or you don't. I got so scared the first day in combat I just decided to go along with it.

I feel no qualms; no pride, no remorse. There is only a weary indifference that will follow me through the war.

I'm just a friendly, sort of scrawny, freckled face kid from Texas, so how can anyone honestly expect me to maintain an air of superiority and romantic mystery?
