" Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more, Or close the wall up with our English dead! In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility, But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the actions of the tiger: Stiffen the sinews, conjure up the blood, Disguise fair nature with hard-favored rage. "
