Always Mystify, Mislead, And Surprise The Enemy,

Our God Was My Shield. His Protecting Care Is An Additional Cause For Gratitude.

All I Am And All I Have Is At The Service Of My Country.

Do Your Duty And Leave The Rest To Providence.

I Have So Fixed The Habit In My Own Mind That I Never Raise A Glass Of Water To My Lips Without A Moment's Asking Of God's Blessing. I Never Seal A Letter Without Putting A Word Of Prayer Under The Seal. I Never Take A Letter From The Post Without A Brief Sending Of My Thoughts Heavenward. I Never Change Classes In The Section Room Without A Minute's Petition On The Cadets Who Go Out And Those Who Come In.

I Was Afraid The Fire Would Not Be Hot Enough For Me To Distinguish Myself.
