Get There First With The Most Men.

I Loved The Old Government In 1861. I Loved The Old Constitution Yet. I Think It Is The Best Government In The World, If Administered As It Was Before The War. I Do Not Hate It; I Am Opposing Now Only The Radical Revolutionists Who Are Trying To Destroy It. I Believe That Party To Be Composed, As I Know It Is In Tennessee, Of The Worst Men On Gods Earth - Men Who Would Not Hesitate At No Crime, And Who Have Only One Object In View - To Enrich Themselves.

If One Road Led To Hell And The Other To Mexico, I Would Be Indifferent Which To Take.

Nobody Kills Me And Lives To Tell About It.

I've Got No Respect For Any Young Man Who Won't Join The Colors.

I Did Not Come Here For The Purpose Of Surrendering My Command.
