I want my army to be an army of the living God.
My religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed.
There are but few commanders who properly appreciate the value of celerity.
All I am and all I have is at the service of my country.
Under divine blessing, we must rely on the bayonet when firearms cannot be furnished
I yield to no man in sympathy for the gallant men under my command; but I am obliged to sweat them tonight, so that I may save their blood tomorrow.
