More quotes by John S. Mosby
Well, it made you famous.
John S. Mosby
General, get up dress quick you are a prisoner!
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.

Only three men in the Confederate army knew what I was doing or intended to do they were Lee and Stuart and myself.
