There's many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory but it is all hell.

War is too serious a matter to leave to soldiers.

I knew wherever I was that you thought of me, and if I got in a tight place you would come-if alive.

You might as well appeal against the thunder-storm as against these terrible hardships of war. They are inevitable, and the only way the people of Atlanta can hope once more to live in peace and quiet at home, is to stop the war, which can only be done by admitting that it began in error and is perpetuated in pride.

Grant stood by me when I was crazy.

I will accept no commission that would tend to create a rivalry with Grant. I want him to hold what he has earned and got. I have all the rank I want.

If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast.
