I have stood your meanness as long as I intend to. You have played the part of a damn scoundrel, and if you were any part of a man I would slap your jaws and force you to resent it.

I have never on the field of battle sent you where I was unwilling to go myself, nor would I now advise you to a course which I felt myself unwilling to pursue. You have been good soldiers. You can be good citizens. Obey the laws, preserve your honor, and the government to which you have surrendered can afford to be and will be magnanimous.

Get there first with the most men.

Nobody kills me and lives to tell about it.

If one road led to hell and the other to Mexico, I would be indifferent which to take.

We are born on the same soil, breathe the same air, live on the same land, and why should we not be brothers and sisters?

Forward, men, and mix with them.

Abolish the Loyal League and the Ku Klux Klan let us come together and stand together.

If you surrender you shall be treated as prisoners of war, but if I haveto storm your works you may expect no quarter.

Attack in all directions!

I went into the army worth a million and a half dollars, and came out a beggar.

I've got no respect for any young man who won't join the colors.
