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

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.

If you don't have my army supplied, and keep it supplied, we'll eat your mules up, sir.

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.

You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out. I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make more sacrifices to-day than any of you to secure peace.

In our Country... one class of men makes war and leaves another to fight it out.
