A poignant quote

[wvfarrier]

I read this Eleanor Roosevelt quote today and it really struck me.

"Lest I continue in my complacent way, Help me to remember that somewhere out there, a soldier died for me today. As long as there be war, I then must ask and answer: Am I worth dying for?".

The answer is, “probably not.”

The answer is, “probably not.”

Sad but true

How about Guiseppe Garibaldi?

• "I offer neither pay, nor quarters, nor provisions; I offer hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death. Let him who loves his country in his heart, and not with his lips only, follow me."

"l'audace l'audace toujours l'audace"

 

[Pharmseller]

Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success.

“The first qualification of a soldier is fortitude under fatigue and privation. Courage is only the second; hardship, poverty and want, are the best school for a soldier.” Napoleon Bonaparte
