13. “ It has often been said that it is glorious to
die for one’s country. For it is not given to
every man to lay down his life that his country
might live in liberty, peace and prosperity. But
let us remember – it is just as glorious and
often more difficult, to live for one’s country.
Die for our country, if we must, but better yet,
let us live for it. “
