I Will Raid The Arsenal And Start

I Read The Story And Reread The Story, But I Still Could Not Find The Universality That The Little Irishman Had Spoken Of. All I Saw In The Story Was Some Irishmen Meeting In A Room And Talking Politics. What Had That To Do With America, Especially With My People? It Was Not Until Years Later That I Saw What He Meant ... I Began To Listen, To Listen Closely To How They Talked About Their Heroes, To How They Talked About The Dead And How Great The Dead Had Once Been. I Heard It Everywhere.

The Natural Disposition Of Most People Is To Clothe A Commander Of A Large Army Whom They Do Not Know, With Almost Superhuman Abilities. A Large Part Of The National Army, For Instance, And Most Of The Press Of The Country, Clothed General Lee With Just Such Qualities, But I Had Known Him Personally, And Knew That He Was Mortal; And It Was Just As Well That I Felt This.

Two Commanders On The Same Field Are Always One Too Many.

I Have Made It A Rule Of My Life To Trust A Man Long After Other People Gave Him Up, But I Don't See How I Can Ever Trust Any Human Being Again.
