It is history that teaches us to hope.

Duty is the sublimest work in the English language.

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.

What a glorious world Almighty God has given us. How thankless and ungrateful we are, and how we labor to mar his gifts.

There is a true glory and a true honor: the glory of duty done--the honor of the integrity of principle.

I believe it to be the duty of everyone to unite in the restoration of the country and the reestablishment of peace and harmony.

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.
