Hi

<act as ancient history freak>

The quote Oderint, dum metuant (let them hate, as long as they fear) is attributed to Caius/Caligula in the biography of Suetonius (text can be found here). However the expression is not an original statement by that emperor, but a general saying (appearing for instance also in Seneca (here and here), current before his times as well (it can also be found in surviving work of Cicero (1st century BC) (here)).

The correct Latin would be:

Si vis pacem, para bellum (If you want peace, prepare for war)

This famous expression is a paraphrase of what is written by Vegetius, who in book 3 actually writes ... Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum. ... (... Therefore he who desires peace, let him prepare for war. ...).

Vegetius was not a Roman general, but an official (though the Roman 'civil' service was technically a militia (military service), it was distinct from the militia armata or armed military service) who composed a book on military affairs combining material from various periods of Roman military history blended together with some fabrications of his one imagination. He never held a military command.

Well, it's true.

"I'd rather have a German division infront of me than a French one behind me!" -General Patton

By the way, "Willst du Frieden, rüste dich für den Krieg." is also in OFP, just in English. This is the translation - "If you want peace, prepare for war."

Plato's saying:

"Only the dead have seen the end of war."

is insanely ironic and witty when you realize he's talking about ALL dead people, regardless of end.

"Pain is your freind, it will keep you awake and alert through the nights. It will anger you and remind you of what the enemy has done to you. And you know the best thing about pain? It lets you know you're still alive!"

I think that was more like it, atleast that's how I remember it and it's how Irecite it to myself during long runs if I cramp up or during workouts if something starts to hurt a lot.
