The Education Of A Man Is Never

No Day Should Be Lived Unless It Was Begun With A Prayer Of Thankfulness And An Intercession For Guidance.

Everyone Should Do All In His Power To Collect And Disseminate The Truth, In The Hope That It May Find A Place In History And Descend To Posterity. History Is Not The Relation Of Campaigns And Battles And Generals Or Other Individuals, But That Which Shows The Principles For Which The South Contended And Which Justified Her Struggle For Those Principles.

I Think It Better To Do Right, Even If We Suffer In So Doing, Than To Incur The Reproach Of Our Consciences And Posterity.

A Union That Can Only Be Maintained By Swords And Bayonets, And In Which Strife And Civil War Are To Take The Place Of Brotherly Love And Kindness, Has No Charm For Me.

All That The South Has Ever Desired Was That The Union, As Established By Our Forefathers, Should Be Preserved, And That The Government As Originally Organized Should Be Administered In Purity And Truth.
