Turks can be killed, but they can never be conquered.

The most desirable quality in a soldier is constancy in the support of fatigue; valor is only secondary.

It requires more courage to suffer than to die.

I am not willing that the vitality of our people be further sapped by the giving of cash, of market baskets, of a few hours of weekly work cutting grass, raking leaves or picking up papers in the public parks. We must preserve not only the bodies of the unemployed from destitution but also their self-respect, their self-reliance and courage and determination.

Do not look the other way; do not hesitate. Recognize that the world is hungry for action, not words. Act with courage and vision.

The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.
