More quotes by John S. Mosby
He was a Baptist minister who prayed through his six-shooter which he claimed was the most efficacious form of prayer, especially in dealing with Yankees...he would go into battle singing the songs of David.
John S. Mosby
War loses a great deal of its romance after a soldier has seen his first battle. I have a more vivid recollection of the first that the last one I was in. It is a classical maxim that it is sweet and becoming to die for one's country but whoever has seen the horrors of a battlefield feels that it is far sweeter to live for it.
John S. Mosby
Well, it made you famous.
