In our Country... one class of men makes war and leaves another to fight it out.
From William Tecumseh Sherman
You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will.
The scenes on this field would have cured anybody of war.
If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast.

If you don't have my army supplied, and keep it supplied, we'll eat your mules up, sir.
My aim then was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us.
Every attempt to make war easy and safe will result in humiliation and disaster.
You may as well say, 'That's a valiant flea that dare eat his breakfast on the lip of a lion.
