Wounded Men

Famous quotes containing the words wounded and/or men:

“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)

“I have seen more men than usual, lately; and, well as I was acquainted with one, I am surprised to find what vulgar fellows they are.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
