General Longstreet,when once in a fight, was a most brilliant soldier; but he was the hardest man to move I had in my army.

I am as willing to serve now as in the beginning in any capacity and at any post where I can do good. The lower the position, the more suitable to my ability and the more agreeable to my feelings.

What a cruel thing war is... to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors.

The enemy is here, and if we do not whip him, he will whip us.

Go home all you boys who fought with me and help build up the shattered fortunes of our old state

For I consider the character of no man affected by a want of success, provided he has made an honest effort to succeed.

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.
