I am more afraid of King Alcohol than of all the bullets of the enemy.

My men have sometimes failed to take a position, but to defend one, never!

My duty is to obey orders.

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!

We must make this campaign an exceedingly active one. Only thus can a weaker country cope with a stronger; it must make up in activity what it lacks in strength.

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

Then, Sir, we will give them the bayonet!
