Duty Is Ours; Consequences Are God's.

Press On, Press On, Men.

Sir! Men Who Desert Their Comrades In War Deserve To Be Shot! And Officers Who Intrude For Them Deserve To Be Hung!

If Officers Desire To Have Control Over Their Commands, They Must Remain Habitually With Them, Industriously Attend To Their Instruction And Comfort, And In Battle Lead Them Well.

In The Army Of The Shenandoah, You Were The 'first Brigade!' In The Army Of The Potomac You Were The 'first Brigade!' In The Second Corps Of This Army, You Are The 'first Brigade!' You Are The 'first Brigade' In The Affections Of Your General, And I Hope By Your Future Deeds And Bearing You Will Be Handed Down The Posterity As The 'first Brigade' In This Our Second War Of Independence. Farewell!

My Religious Belief Teaches Me To Feel As Safe In Battle As In Bed. God Has Fixed The Time For My Death. I Do Not Concern Myself About That, But To Be Always Ready, No Matter When It May Overtake Me.
