“ It isn't the fact that you're licked that counts,
It's how did you fight and why.
And though you be done to death, what then?
If you battled the best you could;
If you played your part in the world of men,
Why, the critic will call it good.
Death comes with a crawl or comes with a pounce,
And whether he's slow or spry,
It isn't the fact that you're dead that counts,
But only how did you die. ”

“ Hardships will be your lot, but trust in God, he will give you comfort. Temptation will befall you, but the teachings of our Saviour will give you strength. Let your valor as a soldier and your conduct as a man be an inspiration to your comrades and an honor to your country. ”

“ Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Assembly: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Leader: Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. ”
