This part of Henry V’s Agincourt speech in Shakespeare always encourages me - I can see why Ambrose chose part of it for his book’s title, but I like the line following:

This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;

It certainly is a great speech. See the following, particularly from 00:45 to 03:05.
