‘There can be no partnership between the brave and the effeminate.  We are regarded as cowardly people. If we want to become free from that  reproach, we should learn the use of arms...‘…we should have the ability to bear arms and use them. If we want to  learn the use of arms with the greatest possible dispatch, it is our  duty to enlist ourselves in the Army’
