“Be pupils of the masses as well as their teachers.”

“The soldier is the army.”

“The soldier is the Army. No army is better than its soldiers. The Soldier is also a citizen. In fact, the highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country”

“The Army (considering the irritable state it is in, its suffering and composition) is a dangerous instrument to play with.”

“My guiding star always is, Get hold of portable property.”

“The fantastical idea of virtue and the public good being a sufficient security to the state against the commission of crimes, which you say you have heard insisted on by some, I assure you was never mine.”

“But our great security lies, I think, in our growing strength.”
