    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    To some extent I liken slavery to death.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    We now talk of our killed and wounded. There is however a very happy feeling. Those who escape regret of course the loss of comrades and friends, but their own escape and safety to some extent modifies their feelings.
