Madam, if your son were to come home and try to shirk duty, you ought to shut your door in his face and treat him as a renegade unworthy of your name or regard.

My duty is to obey orders.

We must make this campaign an exceedingly active one. Only thus can a weaker country cope with a stronger; it must make up in activity what it lacks in strength.

Sir! Men who desert their comrades in war deserve to be shot! And Officers who intrude for them deserve to be hung!

Press on, press on, men.

Let us go over, and sit in the shade of the trees.

Do your duty and leave the rest to Providence.
