As an old soldier I admit the cowardice : it's as universal as sea sickness, and matters just as little.

Hatred is the coward's revenge for being intimidated.

I never expect a soldier to think.

You are a very poor soldier: a chocolate cream soldier!

Man gives every reason for his conduct save one, every excuse for his crimes save one, every plea for his safety save one; and that one is his cowardice

Christmas is forced upon a reluctant and disgusted nation by the shopkeepers and the press; on its own merits it would wither and shrivel in the fiery breath of universal hatred.
