"Help ! Where Is This Quote From ??"

Right I've searched and searched and I cannot find where this quote originates from - I heard it in the Sum Of All Fears film, but obviously it comes from somewhere !

It is "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" If anyone knows who originally came up with it then I'd be grateful for the info.

Yyyyyup.
Next to "Wrath of Khan", "The Undiscovered Country" is the best Trek movie ever.

Henry V - Shakespeare

Henry gives the speech just before The Battle of Agincourt - to rouse his men into battle.
It basically means "Let's have 'em".

Having said that, it's already got a line from the West Wing in it;

"It is the price we pay for being rich, free, and alive, all at the same time."

I have funny references sometimes...

That's the problem, I put it in google but got endless irrelevant results. I need it for my Debating the third world essay at Uni and I can't use the Sum Of All Fears film as a reference.....maybe.....

I would like to know the meaning of "Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war."

it's just a common phrase isn't it? It's quite old.
