‘Fighting is hard work, whatever sort of fighting it is. You cannot fight without wounds of body, heart, or soul.’ ~ Mrs. Booth
‘Lastly,’ said The General in a beautiful tribute to our Army Mother, ‘she was a warrior. She liked the fight. She was not one who said to others, “Go,” but “Here, let me go;” and when there was the necessity she said, “I will go!” I never knew her to flinch until her poor body compelled her to lay aside.’
Our Army Mother was, indeed, before all things a warrior; she fought bravely and unceasingly her whole life through.
In thought and purpose she was independent, and dared to stand out for what she felt right. Cowardice, in her opinion, was one of the commonest and most subtle sins of the day, and she had no patience with those who dared not say ‘No,’ and feared to stand alone.

Isaiah 42:13 (NIV)
The LORD will march out like a mighty man, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies.
