On Ambition “When I was merging upon manhood, my
every thought was ambitious—not to be wealthy, not to be learned, but to be
great.”
On Education “I would rather have a good education
and no money, than to have a fortune and be ignorant.”
On Perseverance “It's not how many times you get
knocked down that counts, it's how many times you get back up.”
On the Value of Battle Experience “You ask me if I will not be glad
when the last battle is fought... but if I answer for myself alone, I must say
that I shall regret to see the war end and I would be willing, yes glad, to see
a battle every day during my life.”
On Leadership and Duty “I appeal to you as a soldier to
spare me the humiliation of seeing my regiment march to meet the enemy and I
not share its dangers.”
On the Nature of War “War isn't just killing, you know.
It's a contest. It's a man against a man.”
On Preference for Freedom “If I were an Indian... I would
greatly prefer to cast my lot among those of my people who adhere to the free
open plains, rather than submit to the confined limits of a reservation.”
