“Honor is no phantom. Duty doesn't melt away, no matter how much we might wish it to.”
“I wish we could take the hill. Could flood right on over it and end the war, wipe them all away in one great motion. But we can't. No matter how much I wish...or trust in God...”
“The trouble with "now" is that no matter how much you wish it would, it doesn't last forever. But then... other than a grudge...what does?”
“Honor is honesty to what is, not blind duty to what you wish to be.”
“It doesn't matter how much we are alike, because we're too different to compare.”
“We can’t run away from what defines our fates. Who we are and what we believe in grow from the roots of our past, no matter how much we might try to deny it.”
