I’ll fight!

While women weep, as they do now, I’ll fight.

While little children go hungry, as they do now, I’ll fight.

While men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I’ll fight.

While there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I’ll fight.

I’ll fight to the very end!

- General William Booth, founder of The Salvation Army
