My men have sometimes failed to take a position, but to defend one, never!
My duty is to obey orders.
All I am and all I have is at the service of my country.
I am more anxious than I can express that my men should be not only good soldiers of their country, but also good soldiers of the cross.
I want my army to be an army of the living God.
What is life without honor? Degradation is worse than death.
