While soldiers can stand and fight.I can fight and feed them

It is wise statesmanship which suggests that in time of peace we must prepare for war, and it is no less a wise benevolence that makes preparation in the hour of peace for assuaging the ills that are sure to accompany war.

I wonder if a soldier ever does mend a bullet hole in his coat?

While soldiers can stand and fight.I can fight and feed them

I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them.

Long ago I added to the true old adage of "What is everybody's business is nobody's business," another clause which, I think, morethan any other principle has served to influence my actions in life. That is, What is nobody's business is my business.

Everybody's business is nobody's business, and nobody's business is my business.
