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.

I find I like it too much.

Duty is ours; consequences are God's.

This army stays here until the last wounded man is removed. Before I leave them to the enemy, I will lose many more men.

My duty is to obey orders.

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.
