We Cannot Afford To Be Idle, And

We Must...submit Ourselves In Adversity To The Will Of A Merciful God As Cheerfully As In Prosperity.

We Have But One Rule Here, And That Is That Every Student Must Be A Gentleman.

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.

There Is Always Hazard In Military Activity, But We Must Decide Between The Positive Loss Of Inactivity And The Risk Of Action.

I Cannot Trust A Man To Control Others Who Cannot Control Himself.
