Quotes about Firefighters

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear" ~ Ambrose Redmoon

The funny thing about firemen is, night and day, they are always firemen. ~ Gregory Widen, writer of 'Backdraft'

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 duty. ~ Edward F. Croker

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. ~ Edward F. Croker

If Prometheus was worthy of the wrath of heaven for kindling the first fire upon earth, how ought all the gods honor the men who make it their professional business to put it out? ~ John Godfrey Saxe

I can think of no more stirring symbol of man's humanity to man than a fire engine. ~ Kurt Vonnegut

But sound aloud the praises, and give the victor-crown To our noble-hearted Firemen, who fear not danger's frown.~ Frederic G.W. Fenn, "Ode to our Firemen," 1878

All men are created equal, then a few become firemen. ~ Author Unknown

Firefighters save hearts and homes. ~ Author Unknown

Firemen: your worst day is our everyday. ~ Michael Perry

What you call a hero, I call just doing my job. ~ Author Unknown

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ~ Bible, John 15:13

Firemen never die, they just burn forever in the hearts of the people whose lives they saved. ~ Susan Diane Murphree

Man is the only creature that dares to light a fire and live with it. The reason? Because Firemen have learned to put it out. ~ Henry Jackson Vandyke, Jr.

What is a firefighter?

He's the guy next door....
He's a guy like you and me with warts and worries and unfulfilled dreams.Yet he stands taller than most of us. He's a fireman....
A fireman is at once the most fortunate and the least fortunate of men.
He's a man who saves lives because he has seen too much death.
He's a gentle man because he has seen the awesome power of violence out of control.
He's responsive to a child's laughter because his arms have held too many small bodies that will never laugh again....
He doesn't preach the brotherhood of man. He lives it. ~ Author Unknown

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of it's own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles." ~ Col. Jeff Cooper, Firearms Pioneer
