Quotes

  • Madam, don't bring up your sons to detest the United States government. Recollect that we form one country now. Abandon all these local animosities, and make your sons Americans.
  • We must forgive our enemies. I can truly say that not a day has passed since the war began that I have not prayed for them.
  • I cannot consent to place in the control of others one who cannot control himself.
  • Sir, if you ever presume again to speak disrespectfully of General Grant in my presence, either you or I will sever his connection with this university.
  • I have fought against the people of the North because I believed they were seeking to wrest from the South its dearest rights. But I have never cherished toward them bitter or vindictive feelings, and have never seen the day when I did not pray for them.
  • Obedience to lawful authority is the foundation of manly character.
