I'm thinking 'The best defence is a good offence'; but it seems to typical... pretty boring and does not convey our interests in promoting science to accompany our military dominance...
Any serious suggestions from anyone will be very much appreciated.

Hmmm... some pretty good ones... I like the idea of it being in a foreign language...
German could be quite good (militaristic, scientific  )
Or mebbe Latin... 
If there are any Latin, German or any more suggestions, keep 'em coming.

If we have any German speakers out there, could you please translate the following?
It should be:
Domination through Military and Scientific Prosperity
And it comes out (using BabelFish) as:
Herrschaft durch militärischen und wissenschaftlichen Wohlstand.
Looks pretty cr@ppy, IMO though. Whadda ya think, UnOrthOdOx?

Well, I started this thing, so here are some thoughts.
"If the enemy opens the door, you must rush in." - Sun Tzu
"The warrior who is inflexible condemns himself to death" - Lao Tzu
"Without struggle, there can be no progress." - Frederick Douglas
"It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees!" - Emiliano Zapata

Actually the quote is correct, meaning it is better to die fighting than live in servitude...

Yeah sorry the whole thing is a quote from the book I should have put it all in quotation marks.
War is hell. Fighting is living on your knees but submission is living on your feet.

Nately's "old man" is/was my hero. But a quote from a book meant to criticize war isn't the best choice for a party which is pro war...

hmmmmn true,
but the in the context of the hawk pearty it could be re-interpreted to mean beating down all our neighbours is living on your feet but concentrating on other things would mean dying on your knees, perhaps.
Milo is my hero.
