There is no substitute for victory

There is no security on this earth there is only opportunity

Life is a lively process of becoming

Whether in chains or in laurels, liberty knows nothing but victories

Could I have but a line a century hence crediting a contribution to the advance of peace, I would gladly yield every honor which has been accorded me in war

I can recall no parallel in history where a great nation recently at war has so distinguished its former enemy commander

By profession I am a Soldier and take pride in that fact, but I am prouder to be a father

In war, when a commander becomes so bereft of reason and perspective that he fails to understand the dependence of arms on Divine guidance, he no longer deserves victory

In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield

A better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding
