While we are grateful to all the brave men and officers for the events of the past few days, we should, above all, be very grateful to Almighty God, who gives us victory.

Half finished work generally proves to be labor lost.

We shall yet acknowledge His wisdom and our own error therein.

Teach hope to all, despair to none.

A nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure.

We cannot escape history.

If you wish to win a man over to your ideas, first make him your friend.
