Field Marshal Von

Famous quotes containing the words field and/or von:

    My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.
    Clara Barton (1821–1912)

    Very few people love others for what they are; rather, they love what they lend them, their own selves, their own idea of them.
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
