You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will.

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

I begin to regard the death and mangling of a couple thousand men as a small affair, a kind of morning dash-and it may be well that we become so hardened.

I think I understand what military fame is; to be killed on the field of battle and have your name misspelled in the newspapers.

We can make war so terrible and make them so sick of war that generations pass away before they again appeal to it.

The way to success is strategically along the way of least expectation and tactically along the line of least resistance.

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