Sacrifice still exists everywhere, and everywhere the elect of each generation suffers for the salvation of the rest. – Henri Frederic Amiel

The stern hand of fate has scourged us to an elevation where we can see the great everlasting things which matter for a nation — the great peaks we had forgotten, of Honor, Duty, Patriotism, and clad in glittering white, the great pinnacle of Sacrifice pointing like a rugged finger to Heaven. – David Lloyd George

Self-sacrifice is the real miracle out of which all the reported miracles grow. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
