"Learn what you need for your life! Do not walk bowed and hunched, walk upright like free people! Walk with your head held high but never rise above others! Walk with sharp mind and a hot heart! Walk with more joy than the elders were able to walk through their lives with, for you are freer than all who lived before you, on our soil, ever were!"
Georg Leber "Father of soldiers" 7 October 1920 – 21 August 2012
Federal Minister of Defence 1972 - 1978
From his speech held during the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the universities of the German Federal Armed Forces in 1993
