Wisdom Is Nothing More Than Healed Pain.

I Tremble For My Country When I Hear Of Confidence Expressed In Me. I Know Too Well My Weakness, That Our Only Hope Is In God.

With All My Devotion To The Union, And The Feeling Of Loyalty And Duty Of An American Citizen, I Have Not Been Able To Make Up My Mind To Raise My Hand Against My Relative, My Children, My Home. I Have, Therefore, Resigned My Commission In The Army.

Teach Him To Deny Himself.

I Think It Better To Do Right, Even If We Suffer In So Doing, Than To Incur The Reproach Of Our Consciences And Posterity.

My Heart Bleeds At The Death Of Every One Of Our Gallant Men.
