You know nothing can stop me but loss of breath, and I'm still breathing so it's still on.

You have won battles without cannon, crossed rivers without bridges, made forced marches without shoes, camped without brandy and often without bread. Soldiers of liberty, only republican phalanxes [infantry troops] could have endured what you have endured.

When life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat; instead, they are all the more determined to struggle for a better future.

It requires more courage to suffer than to die.

In war it is not men, but the man who counts.

Take these broken wings and learn to fly.
