Famous quotes containing the words living and/or defense:
“He who was living is now dead
We who were living are now dying
With a little patience”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“He said, truly, that the reason why such greatly superior numbers quailed before him was, as one of his prisoners confessed, because they lacked a cause,—a kind of armor which he and his party never lacked. When the time came, few men were found willing to lay down their lives in defense of what they knew to be wrong; they did not like that this should be their last act in this world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
