I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are.

My aim then was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us.
Courage – a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to endure it.
An Army is a collection of armed men obliged to obey one man. Every change in the rules which impairs the principle weakens the army.
