Vicki Baum quotes about
loyalty giving-up food
the seat of the greatest patriotic loyalties is in the stomach. Long after giving up all attachment to the land of his birth, the naturalized American citizen holds fast to the food of his parents.
next comes-and-goes
Courage comes and goes. Hold on for the next supply.
