Soldier

There's many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory but it is all hell.

I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the city of Savannah.

It's a disagreeable thing to be whipped.

In our Country... one class of men makes war and leaves another to fight it out.

War is at its best barbarism.

I will accept no commission that would tend to create a rivalry with Grant. I want him to hold what he has earned and got. I have all the rank I want.

There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but, boys, it is all hell.

I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make more sacrifices today than any of you to secure peace.

You may as well say, 'That's a valiant flea that dare eat his breakfast on the lip of a lion.

An Army is a collection of armed men obliged to obey one man. Every change in the rules which impairs the principle weakens the army.
