SACRIFICE
Quotes
We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
He that embarks on the voyage of life will always wish to advance rather by the impulse of the wind than the strokes of the oar; and many fold in their passage; while they lie waiting for the gale.
Give unto me, made lowly wise,
The spirit of self-sacrifice;
The confidence of reason give,
And in the light of truth thy bondman let me live!
The soldier, above all other men, is required to perform the highest act of religious teaching — sacrifice.
