Hold The Fort! I Am Coming!

I Will Not Accept If Nominated, And Will Not Serve If Elected.

I Think I Understand What Military Fame Is; To Be Killed On The Field Of Battle And Have Your Name Misspelled In The Newspapers.

The Young Bloods Of The South: Sons Of Planters, Lawyers About Towns, Good Billiard-players And Sportsmen, Men Who Never Did Any Work And Never Will... They Are Splendid Riders, First-rate Shots And Utterly Reckless. These Men Must All Be Killed Or Employed By Us Before We Can Hope For Peace.

Grant Stood By Me When I Was Crazy, And I Stood By Him When He Was Drunk, And Now We Stand By Each Other.
