Gain Babenberg Blood

Famous quotes containing the words gain and/or blood:

    For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
    Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Mark, 8:36.

    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)
