I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are. If I killed them all there would be news from Hell before breakfast.

The soldiers and people of the south entertained an undue fear of our western men, and invented such ghostlike stories of our progress through Georgia that they were scared by their own inventions... this was a power, and I intended to utilize it. W.T. Sherman

"I think we know what military fame is: To be killed on the field of battle and have our names spelled wrong in the newspapers." W.T. Sherman

"...I'd wake up some morning and find all over the papers that I'd poisoned my grandmother. Now you know I never saw my mother's mother, but the newspapers would say I killed her, and prove it." W.T. Sherman

If we must be enemies, let us be men, and fight it out as we propose to do, and not deal in hypocritical appeals to God and humanity.

If it costs us ten thousand lives and breaks the treasury, there will never be peace in Tennessee until Forrest is dead!

War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.
