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

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

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.

Duty is ours; consequences are God's.

If officers desire to have control over their commands, they must remain habitually with them, industriously attend to their instruction and comfort, and in battle lead them well.

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.

We are all but instruments of God.
