Sir, it is not God who will assemble us on the battlefield, nor position our troops, nor place the cannon, and it is not God who will aim the musket..
I do not care to die, but I pray to God I may never leave this field..
We are serving no one man, we are serving our country..
There are times when a corps commander's life does not count..
Do you see those colors? Take them!.
