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.

Press on, press on, men.

The only true rule for cavalry is to follow the enemy as long as he retreats.

I am more anxious than I can express that my men should be not only good soldiers of their country, but also good soldiers of the cross.

Always mystify, mislead, and surprise the enemy, if possible; and when you strike and overcome him, never let up in the pursuit...

Under divine blessing, we must rely on the bayonet when firearms cannot be furnished

All I am and all I have is at the service of my country.
