It is well that war is so terrible. We should grow too fond of it.

To be a good soldier, you must love the army. To be a good commander, you must be willing to order the death of the thing you love.

My trust is in the mercy and wisdom of a kind Providence, who ordereth all things for our good.

I like whiskey. I always did, and that is why I never drink it.

Let us pray for ourselves, that we may not lose the word “concern” out of our Christian vocabulary. Let us pray for our nation. Let us pray for those who have never known Jesus Christ and redeeming love, for moral forces everywhere, for our national leaders. Let prayer be our passion. Let prayer be our practice.
