I Have Made It A Rule Of

Wherever The Enemy Goes Let Our Troops Go Also.

There Are Many Men Who Would Have Done Better Than I Did Under The Circumstances In Which I Found Myself. If I Had Never Held Command, If I Had Fallen, There Were 10,000 Behind Who Would Have Followed The Contest To The End And Never Surrendered The Union.

...but For A Soldier His Duty Is Plain. He Is To Obey The Orders Of All Those Placed Over Him And Whip The Enemy Wherever He Meets Him.

I Have Never Advocated War Except As A Means Of Peace.

The Colored Man Has Been Accustomed All His Life To Lean On The White Man, And If A Good Officer Is Placed Over Him, He Will Learn Readily And Make A Good Soldier.
