“I don't know how long it has been since my ear has been free from the roll of a drum. It is the music I sleep by, and I love it.... I shall remain here while anyone remains, and do whatever comes to my hand. I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them.” KnowsMayLongHas BeensI CanWarHandsFacesFightingSleepKnow HowDangerEarsRemainsSoldierCivil WarNurseCompelledNursingNever Fear Author:Clara Barton

“If I were to speak of war, it would not be to show you the glories of conquering armies but the mischief and misery they strew in their tracks; and how, while they marched on with tread of iron and plumes proudly tossing in the breeze, some one must follow closely in their steps, crouching to the earth, toiling in the rain and darkness, shelterless themselves, with no thought of pride or glory, fame or praise, or reward; hearts breaking with pity, faces bathed in tears and hands in blood. This is the side which history never shows.” IfsHeartWarShowsHandsEarthFacesSpeakSidesStepsDarknessBloodTearsPrideFameGloryRainArmyPraiseMiseryRewardsTrackPityConquerIronBreezeMischiefHeart BreakHeart BreakingToiling Author:Clara Barton
