My Business Is Staunching Blood, And Feeding

While Soldiers Can Stand And Fight.i Can Fight And Feed Them

I Was Only One Woman Alone, And Had No Power To Move To Action Full-fed, Sleek- Coated, Ease-loving, Pleasure-seeking, Well-paid,and Well-placed Countrymen In This War- Trampled, Dead, Old Land, Each One Afraid That He Should Be Called Upon To Do Something.

Others Are Writing My Biography, And Let It Rest As They Elect To Make It. I Have Lived My Life, Well And Ill, Always Less Well Than I Wanted It To Be But It Is, As It Is, And As It Has Been; So Small A Thing, To Have Had So Much About It!

Economy, Prudence, And A Simple Life Are The Sure Masters Of Need, And Will Often Accomplish That Which, Their Opposites, With A Fortune At Hand, Will Fail To Do.

Everybody's Business Is Nobody's Business, And Nobody's Business Is My Business.
