You cannot barter manhood for peace.
I would rather die a thousand deaths than surrender.
You cannot be a true man until you learn to obey.
Teach him to deny himself.
Death, in its silent sure march is fast gathering those whom I have longest loved, so that when he shall knock at my door, I will more willingly follow.
What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world.
