If you see the President, tell him from me that whatever happens there will be no turning back.

Lee's army will be your objective point. Wherever Lee goes, there you will go also.

It was my fortune, or misfortune, to be called to the office of Chief Executive without any previous political training.

Quit thinking about what Bobby Lee's gonna do to us and start thinking about what we're going to do to him.

One of my superstitions had always been when I started to go anywhere or do anything, not to turn back, or stop until the thing intended was accomplished. I have frequently started to go places where I had never been and to which I did not know the way, depending upon making inquiries on the road, and if I got past the place without knowing it, instead of turning back, I would go until a road was found turning in the right direction, take that, and come in by the other side.

England and the United States are natural allies, and should be the best of friends.

The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most.
