If you don't have my army supplied, and keep it supplied, we'll eat your mules up, sir.

It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.

There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but, boys, it is all hell.

A battery of field artillery is worth a thousand muskets.

I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are.

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. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

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.

This war differs from other wars, in this particular. We are not fighting armies but a hostile people, and must make old and young, rich and poor, feel the hard hand of war.

War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.

If forced to choose between the penitentiary and the White House for four years, I would say the penitentiary, thank you.

War is too serious a matter to leave to soldiers.

An Army is a collection of armed men obliged to obey one man. Every change in the rules which impairs the principle weakens the army.

I think I understand what military fame is; to be killed on the field of battle and have your name misspelled in the newspapers.

He belonged to that army known as invincible in peace, invisible in war.

I make up my opinions from facts and reasoning, and not to suit any body but myself. If people don't like my opinions, it makes little difference as I don't solicit their opinions or votes.

In our Country... one class of men makes war and leaves another to fight it out.

I will accept no commission that would tend to create a rivalry with Grant. I want him to hold what he has earned and got. I have all the rank I want.

Every attempt to make war easy and safe will result in humiliation and disaster.

Courage - a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to endure it.

But, my dear sirs, when peace does come, you may call on me for any thing. Then will I share with you the last cracker, and watch with you to shield your homes and families against danger from every quarter.

War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.

I would make this war as severe as possible, and show no symptoms of tiring till the South begs for mercy.

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.

Grant stood by me when I was crazy, and I stood by him when he was drunk, and now we stand by each other.

There's many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory but it is all hell.

If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve.

The scenes on this field would have cured anybody of war.

I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make more sacrifices today than any of you to secure peace.

You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will.

It's a disagreeable thing to be whipped.

War is hell.

If you don't have my army supplied, and keep it supplied, we'll eat your mules up, sir.

I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.

You may as well say, 'That's a valiant flea that dare eat his breakfast on the lip of a lion.

War is at its best barbarism.

I intend to make Georgia howl.

The voice of the people is the voice of humbug.

If the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty, I will answer that war is war, and not popularity seeking.

There will soon come an armed contest between capital and labor. They will oppose each other, not with words and arguments, but with shot and shell, gun-powder and cannon. The better classes are tired of the insane howling of the lower strata and they mean to stop them.

I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the city of Savannah.

War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is the sooner it will be over.

Since I'm allergic to various things, the army wouldn't accept me during the war, and I got into the Office of War Information, which sent music to Europe.

Critics are sentinels in the grand army of letters, stationed at the corners of newspapers and reviews, to challenge every new author.

They're not shooting me for deserting the United Stated Army - thousands of guys have done that. They're shooting me for bread I stole when I was 12 years old.

The liberation movement which I led in Algeria, the organization that I created to fight the French army, was at first a small movement of nothing at all. We were but some tens of people throughout Algeria, a territory that is five times the size of France.

Maybe the answer to Selective Service is to start everyone off in the army and draft them for civilian life as needed.

These groups within a society can he distinguished according as to whether, like an army or an orchestra, they function as a single body; or whether they are united merely to defend their common interests and otherwise function as separate individuals.

The army teaches boys to think like men.

It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.
