Urge all of your men to pray, not alone in church, but everywhere. Pray when driving. Pray when fighting. Pray alone. Pray with others. Pray by night and pray by day. Pray for the cessation of immoderate rains, for good weather for Battle.Pray for the defeat of our wicked enemy whose banner is injustice and whose good is oppression. Pray for victory. Pray for our Army, and Pray for Peace. We must march together, all out for God.

Do as I have taught you, and you will stay alive.

Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader.

I always believe in being prepared, even when I'm dressed in white tie and tails.

You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things.

All glory is fleeting.

Give me an Army of West Point graduates and I'll win a battle... Give me a handful of Texas Aggies and I'll win a war.
