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.

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

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

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

Through life let your principal object be the discharge of duty.

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.

I want my army to be an army of the living God.
