I mistrust the judgment of every man in a case in which his own wished are concerned
There is nothing so dreadful as a great victory--except a great defeat.
God deliver me from my friends! I'll take care of my enemies myself.
My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won.
The hardest thing of all for a soldier is to retreat.
If you believe that you will believe anything.
