Famous quotes containing the words blood, atonement and/or doctrine:
“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“What atonement is there for blood spilt upon the earth?”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
“I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
