    Apparently a quote of a General who's just inspected some soldiers (IIRC Canadian or Aussies):

    "I have no idea what effect these men will have on the enemy, but by God, they scare me!"

    From Fred Chappell's I Am One of You Forever:
    "Let me tell you something, Jess. They don't nobody like a smart-mouth kid."

    Louis Armstrong:
    "All music is folk music. I ain't never seen no horse sing no song."

    Duke Ellington:
    "There's two kinds of music: good music and bad music."
