everyone is safer when I walk into a room - quote?

[crumble]

I've been trying to remember where I saw this quote. It's part of a longer quote. I think it comes from a guy who was a soldger and was interested in military ethics during peacetime.

Has anybody else heard this quote and know where it is from?

A big thanks in advance!

Soldger? lol.

Are you talking about this one from Robert L Humphrey?





THE WARRIOR CREED
By Robert L. Humphrey
(Iwo Jima Marine)

Wherever I go,
everyone is a little bit safer because I am there.

Wherever I am,
anyone in need has a friend.

Whenever I return home,
everyone is happy I am there.

I think Jack Hoban also made reference to this in his Living Values direction.. he is a high ranking bujinkan member and ex marine.

[Sharky]

he certainly has an inflated view of himself

[Rolling Elbow]

no comment lol...but yeah, when things like this are said i often roll my eyes as well. He's not the only one ot have said it though..

[shinwa]

It's not so much what he thinks of himself as it is a goal to behave in a fashion that would lead to you being viewed that way. Don't act like a coldhearted hard to get along with sack of puss who doesn't cae about anything outside of his own reflection. Be a level headed mofo willing to use your skills to help anyone who needs it, be slow to anger, wise in your decisions, etc etc.

well said Shinwa

Here is a link to Jack Hoban's website where he expands on the Warrior's Creed.
