The quotation from the text that best shapes the theme that true friends make sacrifices for one another is "I will give myself up as a pledge of my friend's return. and if any accident befalls him I will die in his stead".

This quotation is taken from Damon and Pythias, a story which illustrates the value of a true friendship. In this myth, Pythias, who is Damon's friend, is accused of betraying Dionysius. Phythias asks the ruler to allow him to go home to settle his affairs and then return to be executed. Dionysius only accepts his petition when Damon offers to take his friend's place until he comes back. This quote shows that Damon is willing to give up his life for his friend. When Pythias actually returns, Dionysius is so amazed by Pythias and Damon's friendship that he decides to pardon both of them.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
