It is painful enough to discover with what unconcern they speak of war and threaten it. They do not know its horrors. I have seen enough of it to make me look upon it as the sum of all evils.
Who could not conquer with such troops as these?
I want my army to be an army of the living God.
Always mystify, mislead, and surprise the enemy, if possible.
Never take counsel of your fears.
Sir! Men who desert their comrades in war deserve to be shot! And Officers who intrude for them deserve to be hung!
