...i Never Heard Him Abuse An Enemy.

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

I Will Not Move My Army Without Onions.

I Felt Like Anything Rather Than Rejoicing At The Downfall Of A Foe Who Had Fought So Long And Valiantly, And Had Suffered So Much For A Cause, Though That Cause Was, I Believe, One Of The Worst For Which A People Ever Fought, And One For Which There Was The Least Excuse.

The Natural Disposition Of Most People Is To Clothe A Commander Of A Large Army Whom They Do Not Know, With Almost Superhuman Abilities. A Large Part Of The National Army, For Instance, And Most Of The Press Of The Country, Clothed General Lee With Just Such Qualities, But I Had Known Him Personally, And Knew That He Was Mortal; And It Was Just As Well That I Felt This.

I Believe That Our Great Maker Is Preparing The World, In His Own Good Time, To Become One Nation, Speaking One Language, And When Armies And Navies Will Be No Longer Required.
