There never was a time when, in my opinion, some way could not be found to prevent the drawing of the sword.

A military life had no charms for me, and I had not the faintest idea of staying in the army even if I should be graduated, which I did not expect.

I would suggest the taxation of all property equally whether church or corporation.

War is progressive because all instruments of war are progressive.

If men make war in slavish observance of rules, they will fail. No rules will apply to conditions of war as different as those which exist in Europe and America...War is progressive, because all the instruments and elements of war are progressive.

No theory of my own will ever stand in the way of my executing, in good faith, any order I may receive from those in authority over me.

In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten, then he who continues the attack wins.
