No damn man kills me and lives.
Nathan Bedford Forrest
Get there first with the most.
I've got no respect for any young man who won't join the colors.
I ended the war a horse ahead.
I am not an enemy of the Negro. We want him here among us; he is the only laboring class we have.
We have but one flag, one country; let us stand together. We may differ in color, but not in sentiment. Many things have been said about me which are wrong, and which white and black persons here, who stood by me through the war, can contradict.
Never stand and take a charge... charge them too.
War means fighting, and fighting means killing.
