Madam, if your son were to come home and try to shirk duty, you ought to shut your door in his face and treat him as a renegade unworthy of your name or regard.

What is life without honor? Degradation is worse than death.

We are all but instruments of God.

All I am and all I have is at the service of my country.

I find I like it too much.

Let us go over, and sit in the shade of the trees.

Through life let your principal object be the discharge of duty.
