Two commanders on the same field are always one too many.

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.

How do people come up with a date and a time to take life from another man? . . . Twelve white men say a black man must die, and another white man sets the date and time without consulting one black person. . . . They sentence you to death because you were at the wrong place at the wrong time, with no proof that you had anything at all to do with the crime . . . . Yet six months later they come and unlock your cage and tell you, We, us, white folks all, have decided it's time for you to die, because this is the convenient date and time.

I have never advocated war except as a means of peace.
