"Humility must be the measure of a man whose success was bought with the blood of his subordinates, and paid for with the lives of his friends."
General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander, Europe
These were General Eisenhower's first words when introduced on the floor of British Parliament following the Allied Victory in Europe. But he first had to wait for a 5 minute standing ovation to end. After this first sentence, Parliament then gave a second standing ovation, which lasted 15 minutes before they again took their seats.
My rendering of this quote is as best I can remember, and though not exact, the spirit is the same.
