d then, on
acquiring reputation you have had the fun of making it. When you have
got your fortune you know that your wife and children won't suffer. That
is enough. As for myself, I could die to-morrow." (The details of this
conversation are admirable; no document gives a better idea of the
officer of the epoch.)]

[Footnote 3360: Compare with the idea of an ideal Chaver (kibbutznik).:
Melford E. Spiro, wrote "Kibbutz. Venture in Utopia." 60 and described
how the Israeli kibbutzim as early as 1917 wanted the ideal kibbutzim to
be:

Loyal to his people
A brother to his fellows
A man of truth
A helpful and dependable brother
A lover of nature
Obedient to the orders of his leaders
Joyful and gay
Economical and generous
A man of courage
Pure in thoughts, words, and deeds (opposition to drinking,
smoking and sexual relationships).]

[Footnote 3361: Balzac has closely studied and admirably portrayed this
type in a "Menage de Garcon."--See other similar characters in Merimee
("Les Mecontens," and "les Espagnols en Danemark"); in Stendhal ("le
Chasseur vert"). I knew five or six of them in my youth.]

[Footnote 3362: Words of Marshal Marmont: "So long as he declared
'Everything for France,' I served him enthusiastically; when he said,
'France and myself' I served him zealously; when he said, 'myself and
France,' I served him with devotion. It is only when he said, 'Myself
without France,' that I left him."]

latter by Sainte--Beuve.]

[Footnote 3366: M. de Champagny "Souvenirs," III., 183. Napoleon,
passing his marshals in review, said to him (1811): "None of them can
take my place in the command of my armies; some are without the talent,
and others would carry on war for their own benefit. Didn't that burly
Soult want to be king of Portugal?" "Well, sire, war need not be carried
on any longer." "Yes, but how maintain my army? And I must have an
army."]
