Soldier Quotes

It were better to be a soldier's widow than a coward's wife. (Thomas B. Aldrich, 1836-1907)

I love a brave soldier who has undergone the baptism of fire. (Napoleon Bonaparte, 1769-1821)

But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or distract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. (Abraham Lincoln, 1809-1865)
