Man
Never since the foundation of the world have the prospects of mankind been more encouraging to that hope than they appear to be at the present time.
Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena…
We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.
The Christian religion is, above all the religions that ever prevailed or existed in ancient or modern times, the religion of wisdom, virtue, equity and humanity.
The blessing and protection of Heaven are at all times necessary but especially so in times of public distress and danger. The General hopes and trusts that every officer and man will endeavor to live and act as becomes a Christian soldier, defending the dearest rights and liberties of his country.
