Training Distinguishes An Army From An Armed

I Suppose, In A Way, This Has Become Part Of My Soul. It Is A Symbol Of My Life. Whatever I Have Done That Really Matters, I've Done Wearing It. When The Time Comes, It Will Be In This That I Journey Forth. What Greater Honor Could Come To An American, And A Soldier?

I Know War As Few Other Men Now Living Know It, And Nothing To Me Is More Revolting. I Have Long Advocated Its Complete Abolition, As Its Very Destructiveness On Both Friend And Foe Has Rendered It Useless As A Means Of Settling International Disputes... But Once War Is Forced Upon Us, There Is No Other Alternative Than To Apply Every Available Means To Bring It To A Swift End.

There Is No Security On This Earth; There Is Only Opportunity.

In War, When A Commander Becomes So Bereft Of Reason And Perspective That He Fails To Understand The Dependence Of Arms On Divine Guidance, He No Longer Deserves Victory.

Whether In Chains Or In Laurels, Liberty Knows Nothing But Victories.
