28 March 1854 Posted on March 28, 2015 by Staff The Crimean War begins as France and Britain declare war on Russia. Famous Words of Inspiration..."Rely on your own strength of body and soul. Take for your star selfreliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don't take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy, invincible determination with the right motive, are the levers that move the world."
