Yes they are useful... used in moderation...
"Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons.”
"People Sleep Peacefully in Their Beds at Night Only Because Rough Men Stand Ready to Do Violence on Their Behalf."
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

Thumbs up, SMSgt Thomas V., and here's one for the collection:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

One of my favorite quotes. Freedom has a sweeter flavor for those who were the Defender than to those who were the Defended.
