Time sets all things right. Error lives but a day. Truth is eternal.

I fancy that no good ideas upon that campaign will be mentioned at any time that did not receive their share of consideration by General Lee.

This is a hard fight and we had better all die than lose it.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?

I do not want to make this charge. I do not see how it can succeed. I would not make it now but that General Lee has ordered it and expects it.

I hope to live long enough to see my surviving comrades march side by side with the Union veterans along Pennsylvania Avenue, and then I will die happy.

General, unless he offers us honorable terms, come back and let us fight it out!

You only get to keep what you refuse to let go of.

A world of possibilities awaits you. Keep turning the page.

I've been followed home late at night. I've been shot at on the highway.

Man, in his sensitivity, does not give names to animals he intends to eat but goes on giving names to children he intends to send to war.

It would be foolhardy to count on the conscience of the world.

A gentleman will walk but never run.. it takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.. be yourself no matter what they say.
