Press on, press on, men.

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.

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

Sir! Men who desert their comrades in war deserve to be shot! And Officers who intrude for them deserve to be hung!

Don't say it's impossible! Turn your command over to the next officer. If he can't do it, I'll find someone who can, even if I have to take him from the ranks!

He is cautious. He ought to be. But he is NOT slow. Lee is a phenomenon. He is the only man whom I would follow blindfolded.

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