Text Quotes
I am quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done  (Civil War Quotes) America has no north, no south, no east, no west. The sun rises over the hills and sets over the mountains, the compass just points up and down, and we can laugh now at the absurd notion of there being a north and a south. We are one and undivided  (Civil War Quotes) The prisoners still keep killing each other thay hung six yesterday thay fight all most every night in the stockade  (Civil War Quotes) Sir, I do firmly believe that domestic slavery, regulated as ours is, produces the highest toned, the purest, best organization of society that has ever existed on the face of the earth  (Civil War Quotes) I have been a soldier all my life. I have commanded companies, I have commanded regiments. I have commanded divisions. And I have commanded even more. But there are no fifteen thousand men I the world that can go across that ground  (Civil War Quotes) You people speak so lightly of war; you don’t know what you’re talking about. War is a terrible thing!  (Civil War Quotes) I see every chance of a long, confused and disorganizing civil war, and I feel no desire to take a hand therein  (Civil War Quotes) Wars are not all evil, they are part of the grand machinery by which this world is governed  (Civil War Quotes) Peace is defined as harmony among those who are divided. When, therefore, we end the civil war within our nature and cultivate peace within ourselves, we become at peace  (Civil War Quotes) I have stood your meanness as long as I intend to. You have played the part of a damn scoundrel, and if you were any part of a man I would slap your jaws and force you to resent it  (Civil War Quotes) The words, gestures, and threats of our officers were thrown away upon men who had lost all presence of mind and only longed for absence of body  (Civil War Quotes) We were lavish of blood in those days, and it was thought to be a great thing to charge a battery of artillery or an earthwork lined with infantry  (Civil War Quotes) The edge of the conflict swayed to and fro, with wild whirlpools and eddies. At times I saw around me more of the enemy than of my own men; gaps opening, swallowing, closing again with sharp convulsive energy. All around, a strange, mingled roar  (Civil War Quotes) Now I have shed my first blood. I feel no qualms, no pride, no remorse. There is only a weary indifference that will follow me throughout the war  (Civil War Quotes) As we are now engaged in this contest, all my wishes, all my desires and all the energies of my hand and heart will be given to the cause of my state. Whether we have the right of secession or revolution, I want to see my state triumphant  (Civil War Quotes) Major, send a shell first over their heads and let them get in their holes before you open with all your guns  (Civil War Quotes) As each brigade emerged from the woods, from 50 to 100 guns opened upon it, tearing great gaps in its ranks; but the heroes pressed on and were shot down by reserves at the guns. It was not war, it was murder  (Civil War Quotes) It is said slavery is all we are fighting for, and if we give it up we give up all. Even if this were true, which we deny, slavery is not all our enemies are fighting for. It is merely the pretense to establish sectional superiority and a more centralized form of government, and to deprive us of our rights and liberties  (Civil War Quotes) I hope that when I commence that oath, my tongue may cleave to the roof of my mouth. If I ever sign one line to show allegiance, I hope my arm falls paralyzed to my side... Get out. I’m so disgusted I can’t endure your presence any longer  (Civil War Quotes) Without doing injustice to the living, it may safely be asserted that our loss is irreparable; and that among the shining hosts of the great and good who now cluster around the banner of the country, there exists no purer spirit, no more heroic soul, than that of the illustrious man whose death I join you in lamenting  (Civil War Quotes) Sir, if you think that I am that kind of a man, you have missed your mark. I would rather die a thousand deaths than betray a friend or be false to duty  (Civil War Quotes) God pity the tortured hearts that will pant through this night! And the agony of the poor wife who has heard that her husband is really killed!  (Civil War Quotes) This is one of the consequences of the civil war. People stop trusting each other, and every stranger becomes an enemy  (Civil War Quotes) That in a civil war there is continuous fighting, based on grievences that are forever changing  (Civil War Quotes) Modern totalitarianism can be defined as the establishment, by means of the state of exception, of a legal civil war that allows for the physical elimination not only of political adversaries but of entire categories of citizens who for some reason cannot be integrated into the political system  (Civil War Quotes) When you scan the globe’s hot spots, every civil war and massacre, every act of terror and every clash between states has its unique local circumstances  (Civil War Quotes) We must reject the idea of isolationism,. But that doesn’t mean we should get involved in every civil war around the world  (Civil War Quotes) America is a land of big dreamers and big hopes. It is this hope that has sustained us through revolution and civil war, depression and world war, a struggle for civil and social rights and the brink of nuclear crisis. And it is because our dreamers dreamed that we have emerged from each challenge more united, more prosperous, and more admired than before  (Civil War Quotes) We have to make a really cold judgement. Would the consequence of civil war be more devastating than the consequences of staying the course?  (Civil War Quotes) I am not here to pass civilities or compliments with you, but on other business. I have stood your meanness as long as I intend to. You have played the part of a damned scoundrel, and are a coward, and if you were any part of a man I would slap your jaws and force you to resent it. You may as well not issue any more orders to me, for I will not obey them... and as I say to you that if you ever again try to interfere with me or cross my path it will be at the peril of your life  (Civil War Quotes)
