Israel Putnam quotes
-
“A good horse is a man's best friend in time of danger.”
-- Israel Putnam -
“Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes! Then fire low!”
-- Israel Putnam -
“The enemy advances and you tremble. They've better numbers, you say. Better weapons. Better training. But I do not fear, and neither should you. For what they have in material, they lack in conviction and care. But not us. We have discipline. We have order. And most importantly, we have passion. We believe! So maintain vigilance. Conserve your ammo. Ensure a proper line of sight. And above all else, men, do not fire until you see the whites of their eyes.”
-- Israel Putnam
