My Duty Is To Obey Orders.

Always Mystify, Mislead, And Surprise The Enemy, If Possible; And When You Strike And Overcome Him, Never Let Up In The Pursuit...

People Who Are Anxious To Bring On War Don't Know What They Are Bargaining For; They Don't See All The Horrors That Must Accompany Such An Event.

Let Us Go Over, And Sit In The Shade Of The Trees.

In The Army Of The Shenandoah, You Were The 'first Brigade!' In The Army Of The Potomac You Were The 'first Brigade!' In The Second Corps Of This Army, You Are The 'first Brigade!' You Are The 'first Brigade' In The Affections Of Your General, And I Hope By Your Future Deeds And Bearing You Will Be Handed Down The Posterity As The 'first Brigade' In This Our Second War Of Independence. Farewell!

I Yield To No Man In Sympathy For The Gallant Men Under My Command; But I Am Obliged To Sweat Them Tonight, So That I May Save Their Blood Tomorrow.
