Ambition Quote by Isoroku Yamamoto

“I entered the navy with the great ambition of becoming a naval soldier and going to war. Either I die from this festering wound - because I refuse to have my arm amputated - or I recover from it and continue being a soldier. I have a one-in-two chance, and I shall bet my life on it!” quote by Isoroku Yamamoto — Download Open image
