Joshua Chamberlain High Quotations

But the cause for which we fought was higher; our thought wider... That thought was our power.

We fought no better, perhaps, than they. We exhibited, perhaps, no higher individual qualities.

This is the great reward of service, to live, far out and on, in the life of others; this is the mystery of Christ, - to give life's best for such high sake that it shall be found again unto life eternal.
