You know nothing can stop me but loss of breath, and I'm still breathing so it's still on.

You have won battles without cannon, crossed rivers without bridges, made forced marches without shoes, camped without brandy and often without bread. Soldiers of liberty, only republican phalanxes [infantry troops] could have endured what you have endured.

Do not look the other way; do not hesitate. Recognize that the world is hungry for action, not words. Act with courage and vision.

They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest-until the victory is won.

War is waged only with vigor, decision, and unshaken will; one must not grope or hesitate.

Danger gathers upon our path. We cannot afford-we have no right-to look back. We must look forward.
