Wounded Soldiers

Famous quotes containing the words wounded soldiers, wounded and/or soldiers:

    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)

    There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole
    There is a balm in Gilead to heal the sinsick soul.
    —African-American hymn-writer. “There Is a Balm in Gilead,” l. 1-2.

    Two soldiers and a villain are enough to blow up the rights of the citizens.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
