It Is Glorious To See Such Courage

What A Cruel Thing War Is... To Fill Our Hearts With Hatred Instead Of Love For Our Neighbors.

What A Glorious World Almighty God Has Given Us. How Thankless And Ungrateful We Are, And How We Labor To Mar His Gifts.

You See What A Poor Sinner I Am, And How Unworthy To Possess What Was Given Me; For That Reason It Has Been Taken Away.

My Chief Concern Is To Try To Be An Humble, Earnest Christian.

They Do Not Know What They Say. If It Came To A Conflict Of Arms, The War Will Last At Least Four Years. Northern Politicians Will Not Appreciate The Determination And Pluck Of The South, And Southern Politicians Do Not Appreciate The Numbers, Resources, And Patient Perseverance Of The North. Both Sides Forget That We Are All Americans. I Foresee That Our Country Will Pass Through A Terrible Ordeal, A Necessary Expiation, Perhaps, For Our National Sins.
