Avji, its not completely my original, I took it out from memory, read it long back! Dont want to get involved in a Copyright Infringement case in this high tech age! LOL
Long back I read a hymn which has a line "Composing mortals with immortal fire" which I thought would be apt here. Mortals - we members, Immortal fire - Knowledge, deduction of patriotism in us through discussions, converting us into a true universal citizen ( since we discuss issues concerning most countries ),... etc. But I didn't mention it since it is not my "original line" and copyright issues.
You have the seasons - live and prosper The martyrs paid with blood-all our fare I was trying to translate the lines " Zindaa Rahne ki mousam bahut hai magar/ Jaan dene ki rut roj ati nehi..." But.....
Sun Tzu has one of my favourite quotes and are valid even today If you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a thousand battles without a single loss. If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose. If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself. And the most important of all One hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the most skillful. Seizing the enemy without fighting is the most skillful.
Sourced from the popular game Call of Duty 4 "All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing." -Edmund Burke "War does not determine who is right - only who is left" -Burtrand Russell "Never forget that your weapon was made by the lowest bidder." -Unknown Not really a contribution but: "Whoever does not miss the Soviet Union has no heart. Whoever wants it back has no brain." -Vladimir Putin
Just a suggestion, why not scroll all these quotes as "quote for the day" instead of a fixed tagline?

I like this quote, it is long but: War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. ~John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
