Under Divine Blessing, We Must Rely On

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.

Madam, If Your Son Were To Come Home And Try To Shirk Duty, You Ought To Shut Your Door In His Face And Treat Him As A Renegade Unworthy Of Your Name Or Regard.

Duty Is Ours; The Consequences Are The Lord God's

I Have So Fixed The Habit In My Own Mind That I Never Raise A Glass Of Water To My Lips Without A Moment's Asking Of God's Blessing. I Never Seal A Letter Without Putting A Word Of Prayer Under The Seal. I Never Take A Letter From The Post Without A Brief Sending Of My Thoughts Heavenward. I Never Change Classes In The Section Room Without A Minute's Petition On The Cadets Who Go Out And Those Who Come In.

I Was Afraid The Fire Would Not Be Hot Enough For Me To Distinguish Myself.
