"Today we may say aloud before an awe-struck world: "We are still masters of our fate. We are still captain of our souls." --- Winston Churchill

No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.--- General George S. Patton, Jr.,

"It is believed that the enemy suffered severely in these operations, but our own loss has not been light. General Barksdale is killed. Generals Garnett and Armistead are missing as prisoner . Generals Pender and Trimble are wounded in the leg, General Hood in the arm, and General Heth slightly in the head. General Kemper, it is feared, is mortally wounded. Our losses embrace many other valuable officers and men. General Wade Hampton was severely wounded in a different action in which the cavalry was engaged yesterday."

General Lee in a letter to President Jefferson Davis,
July 4, 1863

Zeus most glorious and most great, Thundercloud, throned in the heavens! Let not the sun go down and the darkness come, until I cast down headlong the citadel of Priam in flames, and burn his gates with blazing fire, and tear to rags the shirt upon Hectors breast! May many of his men fall about him prone in the dust and bite the earth! ----Homer the Illiad
