Advantage is a better soldier than rashness. — © Henry George Bohn
Advantage is a better soldier than rashness.
Resistance to criminal rashness comes better late than never.
The soldier is the Army. No army is better than its soldiers. The Soldier is also a citizen. In fact, the highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country
There must always be some advantage on one side or the other, and it is better that advantage should be had by talents than by chance.
There's a lot to learn from the family of a soldier as much as the soldier. Actually, 'warrior' is a better word.
A pretty girl is better than a plain one. A leg is better than an arm. A bedroom is better than a living room. An arrival is better that a departure. A birth is better than a death. A chase is better than a chat. A dog is better than a landscape. A kitten is better than a dog. A baby is better than a kitten. A kiss is better than a baby. A pratfall is better than anything.
Use makes a better soldier than the most urgent considerations of duty,--familiarity with danger enabling him to estimate the danger. He sees how much is the risk, and is not afflicted with imagination; knows practically Marshal Saxe's rule, that every soldier killed costs the enemy his weight in lead.
It were better to be a soldier's widow than a coward's wife.
The soldier's heart, the soldier's spirit, the soldier's soul, are everything. Unless the soldier's soul sustains him he cannot be relied on and will fail himself and his commander and his country in the end.
It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out.
It is a neck-and-neck race between Mr. Gray and myself who shall complete our apparatus first. He has the advantage over me in being a practical electrician - but I have reason to believe that I am better acquainted with the phenomena of sound than he is - so that I have an advantage there.
Rashness is oftener the resort of cowardice than of courage.
The greatest thing that I had in my life was those moments with my dad that I sacrificed. I looked at him as a soldier. He's a wounded soldier. It's my duty as a human to take care of this soldier.
Kill every enemy twice, Wilky said. Better than gettin' shot by a soldier pretending to be dead.
The soldier's heart, the soldier's spirit, the soldier's soul, are everything.
A father who denies a child of his attention is no better than a fully-equipped medic who watches idly as a soldier bleeds to death.
Be not too slow in the breaking of a sinful custom; a quick, courageous resolution is better than a gradual deliberation; in such a combat he is the bravest soldier that lays about him without fear or wit. Wit pleads, fear disheartens; he that would kill Hydra had better strike off one neck than five heads: fell the tree, and the branches are soon cut off.
