A quote perfect for the occasion Mary Ann. I have an idea that MacBeth would also be fertile.

Here's one I like:

In peace, there's nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness, and humility; but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood...now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide, hold hard the breath, and bend up every spirit to its full height!
William Shakespeare 'The Life of King Henry V'
