The more Indians we can kill... the less will have to be killed the next war, for the more I see of these Indians, the more convinced I am that they all have to be killed or be maintained as a species of paupers.

Many and many a person in Georgia asked me why we did not go to South Carolina; and, when I answered that we were en route for that State, the invariable reply was, - Well, if you will make those people feel the utmost severities of war, we will pardon you for your desolation of Georgia.

The whole army is burning with an insatiable desire to wreak violence upon South Carolina. I almost tremble for her fate.

Courage - a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to endure it.

The voice of the people is the voice of humbug.

You people speak so lightly of war; you don't know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing!

I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the city of Savannah.
