As to my political faith- I have never voted. My father was a Democrat, my mother a Republican, and I am an Episcopalian.

When a thing is done, it's done. Don't look back. Look forward to your next objective.

Go right straight down the road, to do what is best, and to do it frankly and without evasion.

Wars are bred by poverty and oppression. Continued peace is possible only in a relatively free and prosperous world.

Passive inactivity, because you have not been given specific instructions to do this or to do that, is a serious deficiency.

The soldier's heart, the soldier's spirit, the soldier's soul, are everything. Unless the soldier's soul sustains him he cannot be relied on and will fail himself and his commander and his country in the end.

I can't expect loyalty from the army if I do not give it.
