The one thing I never want to see again is a military parade. When I resigned from the army and went to a farm I was happy. When the rebellion came, I returned to the service because it was a duty. I had no thought of rank; all I did was try and make.

I never knew what to do with a paper except to put it in a side pocket or pass it to a clerk who understood it better than I did.

Wherever the enemy goes let our troops go also.

No other terms than unconditional and immediate surrender. I propose to move immediately upon your works.

I never wanted to get out of a place as much as I did to get out of the presidency.

The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.
