When the will defies fear, when duty throws the gauntlet down to fate, when honor scorns to compromise with death - that is heroism.

I say that no man can be greater than the man who bravely and heroically sacrifices his life for the good of others. No man can be greater than the one who meets death face to face, and yet will not shrink from what he believes to be his highest duty.

I would rather live and love where death is king than have eternal life where love is not.

Character is made of duty and love and sympathy, and, above all, of living and working for others.

In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.

No system of religion should go in partnership with barbarism. Neither should any Christian feel it his duty to defend the savagery of the past.
