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

He belonged to that army known as invincible in peace, invisible in war.

But, my dear sirs, when peace does come, you may call on me for any thing. Then will I share with you the last cracker, and watch with you to shield your homes and families against danger from every quarter.

War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.

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

A battery of field artillery is worth a thousand muskets.

If nominated by either party, I should peremptorily decline, and even if unanimously elected, I should decline to serve.
