In war you learn your lessons, and they stay learned, but the tuition fees are high.

Storm of Steel (1920)

Storm of Steel (1920)

In war you learn thoroughly, but the tuition fees are high.

Storm of Steel (1920)

Habent sua fata libelli et balli [Books and bullets have their own destinies]

Storm of Steel (1920)
