 “I have no ambition in this world but
one, and that is to be a fireman. The position may, in the eyes of some, appear
to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which the fireman has to do believe
that his is a noble calling. Our proudest moment is to save lives. Under the
impulse of such thoughts, the nobility of the occupation thrills us and
stimulates us to deeds of daring, even of supreme sacrifice.

Chief Edward F. Croker quotes

“Firemen are going to get killed. When
they join the department they face that fact. When a man becomes a fireman his
greatest act of bravery has been accomplished. What he does after that is all in
the line of work. They were not thinking of getting killed when they went where
death lurked. They went there to put the fire out, and got killed. Firefighters
do not regard themselves as heroes because they do what the business
requires.”

Chief Edward F. Croker quotes

 

 If bravery is a quality which knows not fear, then I have never seen a brave man. For the courageous man is the man who, in spite of his fear, forces himself to carry on.

General Douglas MacArthur.
