It is with this as with religion: one usually believes what he has been taught.
From Knute Nelson
That death was near, I suppose I believed, but I saw it only as a rest after the day's work.
I would prefer being in a hard battle; however, I will be satisfied with whatever happens to me in this war, if only the country comes out of this peril safe and to the satisfaction of the finest and best government on earth.
What is best and most necessary usually happens.
But it is neither cannon nor bayonet that will do the worst damage to this city. No, this place will remember the war against our government just as long as there are inhabitants here.
We set the town on fire and burned down every house as a warning to other small towns along the river.
