Erich Maria Remarque Soldier Quotations

No soldier outlives a thousand chances.

It is just as much a matter of chance that I am still alive as that I might have been hit. In a bomb-proof dug-out I may be smashed to atoms and in the open may survive ten hour's bombardment unscratched. No soldier outlives a thousand chances. But every soldier believes in Chance and trusts his luck.

No soldier outlives a thousand chances. But every soldier believes in Chance and trusts his luck.
