Whatever your sex or position, life is a battle in which you are to show your pluck (courage and daring in the face of difficulties; spirit.), and woe be to the coward.
Whether passed on a bed of sickness or a tented field, it is ever the same fair play and admits no foolish distinction.
Despair and postponement are cowardice and defeat.
Men were born to succeed, not to fail.
Henry David Thoreau
