War Deaths

“

Sredni Vashtar went forth,
His thoughts were red thoughts and his teeth were white.
His enemies called for peace, but he brought them death.
Sredni Vashtar the Beautiful.

Saki

“

Seek out—less often sought than found—
A soldier’s grave, for thee the best;
Then look around, and choose thy ground,
And take thy rest.

George Noel Gordon (Lord Byron)

“

I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.

Nathan Hale

“

Politics are almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.

Winston Churchill

“

Foemen at morn, but friends at eve—
Fame or country least their care:
(What like a bullet can undeceive!)

Herman Melville

“

Earth! render back from out thy breast
A remnant of our Spartan dead!
Of the three hundred grant but three,
To make a new Thermopylae.

George Noel Gordon (Lord Byron)
