I would make this war as severe as possible, and show no symptoms of tiring till the South begs for mercy.

It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.

There's many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory but it is all hell.

War is too serious a matter to leave to soldiers.

If the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty, I will answer that war is war, and not popularity seeking.
