“Our sacrifice is greater than his," cried Rilla passionately. "Our boys give only themselves. We give them.”

“The best gift we can give other people is our whole selves in truth. By doing so we give them a true and accurate mirror that allows them to see themselves. We also give ourselves the best opportunity to grow.”

“No person is great in and of themselves; they must touch the lives of other great beings that will inspire them, lift them, and push them forward.”

“When you are living the best version of yourself, you inspire others to live the best versions of themselves.”

“As man develops, he places a greater value upon his own rights. Liberty becomes a grander and diviner thing. As he values his own rights, he begins to value the rights of others. And when all men give to all others all the rights they claim for themselves, this world will be civilized.”
