J. E. B. Stuart

Quotes

• “Our loss was not a scratch to man or horse.”
• “Gentlemen, in ten minutes every man must be in his saddle!”
• “Our Southern ideals of patriotism provided us with the concepts of chivalry. I tried to excell in these virtues, but others provided a truer interpretation of gallant conduct. A devoted champion of the South was one who possessed a heart intrepid, a spirit invincible, a patriotism too lofty to admit a selfish thought and a conscience that scorned to do a mean act. His legacy would be to leave a shining example of heroism and patriotism to those who survive.”
• “Old Joe Hooker, will you come out of the Wilderness!”
• “Charge! And remember Jackson!”
• “While rashness is a crime, boldness is not incompatible with caution, nay, is often the quintessence of prudence.”
