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

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.

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

The hardships of forced marches are often more painful than the dangers of battle

My duty is to obey orders.

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.

Who could not conquer with such troops as these?
