“It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it.”
“The education of a man is never completed until he dies.” “The army is a great place to learn how to be a good citizen.” “It is the job of the soldier to be ready to die for his country.” “A true man of honor feels humbled himself when he cannot help humbling others.” “I have no desire to be a great general.” “I cannot trust a man to be a good soldier who is not a good man.” “Duty_is_the_sublimest_word_in_the_English_language.” |
