The Way To Success Is Strategically Along The Way Of Least Expectation And Tactically Along The Line Of Least Resistance.

He Belonged To That Army Known As Invincible In Peace, Invisible In War.

I Confess, Without Shame, That I Am Sick And Tired Of Fighting — Its Glory Is All Moonshine; Even Success The Most Brilliant Is Over Dead And Mangled Bodies, With The Anguish And Lamentations Of Distant Families, Appealing To Me For Sons, Husbands, And Fathers ... It Is Only Those Who Have Never Heard A Shot, Never Heard The Shriek And Groans Of The Wounded And Lacerated ... That Cry Aloud For More Blood, More Vengeance, More Desolation.

I Will Not Accept If Nominated, And Will Not Serve If Elected.

War Is At Best Barbarism.
