Each man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy fighting beside him. We don't want yellow cowards in this Army. They should be killed off like rats. If not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. The brave men will breed more brave men. Kill off the Goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men.

 

George S. Patton

 

Toll for the brave —
The brave! that are no more;
All sunk beneath the wave,
Fast by their native shore!

 

William Cowper

Alice Borchardt

 

Happy, happy, happy pair!
None but the brave,
None but the brave,
None but the brave deserves the fair.
