We Must Forgive Our Enemies.

The Trite Saying That 'honesty Is The Best Policy' Has Met With The Just Criticism That Honesty Is Not Policy. The Seems To Be True. The Real Honest Man Is Honest From Conviction Of What Is Right, Not From Policy.

Everyone Should Do All In His Power To Collect And Disseminate The Truth, In The Hope That It May Find A Place In History And Descend To Posterity. History Is Not The Relation Of Campaigns And Battles And Generals Or Other Individuals, But That Which Shows The Principles For Which The South Contended And Which Justified Her Struggle For Those Principles.

I Have Fought Against The People Of The North Because I Believed They Were Seeking To Wrest From The South Dearest Rights. But I Have Never Cherished Toward Them Bitter Or Vindictive Feelings. And Have Never Seen The Day When I Did Not Pray For Them.

Why, It Appears That We Appointed All Of Our Worst Generals To Command The Armies And We Appointed All Of Our Best Generals To Edit The Newspapers. I Mean, I Found By Reading A Newspaper That These Editor Generals Saw All Of The Defects Plainly From The Start But Didn't Tell Me Until It Was Too Late. I'm Willing To Yield My Place To These Best Generals And I'll Do My Best For The Cause By Editing A Newspaper.

Remember, We Are All One Country Now. Dismiss From Your Mind All Sectional Feeling, And Bring Them Up To Be Americans.
