All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.
George S. Patton
George S. Patton
A universal truth: All men are afraid in battle. From the time of Alexander the Great to the pilot of the F-22, when the time comes to fight for your life, you are afraid.
Another universal truth: Duty is the essence of manhood. There is none who can call himself a "man" who has walked away from his responsibilities. Fleeing before the might of the Persians, or running away when you discover you're about to become a father, both have their root in cowardice.
Be dutiful, and the respect of others will be heaped upon you. Shirk your duties, and you will be the repository of others' scorn. And rightfully so.
