For he who fights and runs away
May live to fight another day;
But he who is in battle slain
Can never rise and fight again.Oliver Goldsmith
Two Dogs fight for a Bone, and a third runs away with it.
Thomas (writer) Fuller
He that fights and runs away
May live to fight another day. (17th Century?)Anonymous
While women weep, as they do now, I'll fight; while little children go hungry, as they do now, I'll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I'll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight — I'll fight to the very end!
William Booth
While Women weep as they do now, I'll fight. While little children go hungry, as they do now, I'll fight. While men go to prison, in and out, in and out, I'll fight. While there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, While there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight. I'll fight to the very end!
