"The first virtue in a soldier is..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

“I am sometimes a fox and sometimes a lion. The whole secret of government lies in knowing when to be the one or the other.”

“A nation recruits men more easily than it can retrieve its honour.”

“What is the government? Nothing, unless supported by opinion.”

“Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country's cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause.”

“The Army, as usual, are without pay; and a great part of the soldiery without shirts; and though the patience of them is equally threadbare, the States seem perfectly indifferent to their cries.”

“The sinews of war are not gold, but good soldiers; for gold alone will not procure good soldiers, but good soldiers will always procure gold.”

“When pain is unbearable it destroys us; when it does not it is bearable.”

“The people of Africa have learned the lessons of patience and endurance in their long struggle for freedom.In a cynical world we have become an inspiration to many. We signal that good can be achieved amongst human beings who are prepared to trust, prepared to belief in the goodness of people.”

“Hang there like fruit, my soul, Till the tree die!”
