“Keep striving, for God gives His hardest battles to His strongest soldiers.”

“With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”

“God, the hardest thing he’d ever done in his life was giving up what he wanted so that the woman heloved could get what she needed.”

“a soldier lives always for the next battle, because he knows that before it arrives impossible changes can occur in his favor.”

“If his life depended on it, hehad to find out later why that indomitable soldier, accustomed to fighting to the last dropof blood, had left the final battle of his life unfinished.”

“America without her Soldiers would be like God without His angels.”
