If 600,000 people have to die in order for the nation to live, then 600,000 people will die.

I could not have slept tonight if I had left that helpless little creature to perish on the ground.

Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.

I am for the people of the whole nation doing just as they please in all matters which concern the whole nation; for that of each part doing just as they choose in all matters which concern no other part; and for each individual doing just as he chooses in all matters which concern nobody else.

Always remember: Life is for enjoying.

Bring me Longstreet's head on a platter and the war will be over
