⊙ Quote of the day: BAND OF BROTHERS

This story shall the good man teach his son;

And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,

From this day to the ending of the world, 

But we in it shall be remembered-

We few, we happy few, We band of brothers.

- BAND OF BROTHERS : Shakespeare's Henry V, Act 4, Scene 3 -

There are so many great quotes about comradeship in Band of Brothers, but one that stands out is from Shakespeare's play Henry V, Act 4, Scene 3, quoted by Sergeant Lipton (Clifford Carwood "Lip" Lipton). When King Henry V addresses the English soldiers before the Battle of Agincourt, he reminds them of their bravery and brotherhood and urges them to fight valiantly for king and country. Henry V tells the soldiers that their actions will be remembered for centuries to come, and that they will be forever linked by their shared experience. 'We few, we happy few, we band of brothers' is a key phrase in the speech, implying that although there are only a few soldiers, they are happy to be fighting and consider each other brothers. This emphasizes the importance of comradeship and solidarity.
