“O friends, be men; so act that none may feel Ashamed to meet the eyes of other men. Think each one of this children and his wife, His home, his parents, living yet and dead. For them, the absent ones, I supplicate, And bid you rally here, and scorn to fly.” ThinkingMenFeelsMayChildrenHomeEyeParentWifeBraveryAshamedScornAbsentBe A Man Book:The Iliad of Homer Source: The Iliad of Homer
“Do not consider any act of service as demeaning. Sweeping the streets, for example, is not below your dignity. Do you not sweep the floor of your homes? Do you not scrub and wash off dirt?
