Our movement was a great success; I think the most successful military movement of my life. But I expect to receive more credit for it than I deserve. Most men will think I planned it all from the first; but it was not so. I simply took advantage of circumstances as they were presented to me in the providence of God. I feel that His hand led me - let us give Him the glory.

People who are anxious to bring on war don't know what they are bargaining for; they don't see all the horrors that must accompany such an event.

The only winner today is big business.

What is life without honor? Degradation is worse than death.

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

Shoot the brave officers, and the cowards will run away and take the men with them.

Then, Sir, we will give them the bayonet!
