"We shall not sheathe the sword, which we have not lightly drawn, until Belgium recovers in full measure more than all that she has sacrificed;  until France is adequately secured against the menace of aggression; until the rights of the smaller nationalities of Europe are placed on an unassailable foundation; until the military dominion of Prussia is fully and finally destroyed.
"That is a great task, worthy of a great nation.  It means for its accomplishments that every man among us, old or young, rich or poor, learned or simple, should give what he has and do what he can."

"Not knowing if they went to life or death.
 Not caring greatly, so that they were true
 To their own sleepless and unfaltering souls."

"For gold the merchant ploughs the main,
The farmer ploughs the manor;
But glory is the sodger's prize;
The sodger's wealth is honour;
The brave poor sodger ne'er despise,
Nor count him as a stranger;
Remember, he's his country's stay
In day and hour of danger."
