In Politics I Am Growing Indifferent - I Would Like It, If I Could Now Return To My Planting And Books At Home

Venice Would Be A Fine City If It Were Only Drained.

There Are Many Men Who Would Have Done Better Than I Did Under The Circumstances In Which I Found Myself. If I Had Never Held Command, If I Had Fallen, There Were 10,000 Behind Who Would Have Followed The Contest To The End And Never Surrendered The Union.

One Of My Superstitions Had Always Been When I Started To Go Anywhere Or Do Anything, Not To Turn Back, Or Stop Until The Thing Intended Was Accomplished. I Have Frequently Started To Go Places Where I Had Never Been And To Which I Did Not Know The Way, Depending Upon Making Inquiries On The Road, And If I Got Past The Place Without Knowing It, Instead Of Turning Back, I Would Go Until A Road Was Found Turning In The Right Direction, Take That, And Come In By The Other Side.
