Dulce et decorum est : it is sweet and fitting.
Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori : it is sweet and fitting to die for one’s fatherland. (Horace, Odes, Book III, No II). The ode continues : ‘Death pursues the coward as he flees and has no mercy towards a bended knee or cowering back.
Courage is not disgraced in defeat, it shines through with honours undimmed, it neither gains nor loses by the popular vote’ and finally, about those who fail to stand and fight, ‘Vengeance may limp, but rarely stops pursuing the guilty.’
