Pioneers! O Pioneers! Sacrifice Quotes Page 1

| Quote #1 For we cannot tarry here, |
There is something totally necessary about this march. It just has to happen, like showering or eating French fries (okay, that last one's optional). Our speaker urges that we "must" sacrifice some safety in order to keep moving forward. It seems that everyone else, perhaps the whole human race, depends on us pushing out into new frontiers.
| Quote #2 O to die advancing on! |
Our speaker makes it sound like there is glory in sacrificing your life for the cause of venturing into the unknown. It does not seem terrible to die in this way, not for our speaker. It is, in fact, the most fitting way to die.
| Quote #3 Do the feasters gluttonous feast? |
As we might have guessed by now, our speaker is not a fan of five star restaurants and sleeping in. The dude doesn't even like locked doors. He wants us to sleep on the ground and eat a hard diet, for that is what keeps us fit and hardy and in touch with the freshness and newness of the world. Okay, but can we at least have a tent?
