It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinions; it is easy in solitude to live after your own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude"
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
"M-morrow we goes into battle, so Lordy, let me fight with the rifle in one hand, and the g-good Book in the other. That if I may die at the muzzle of the rifle... I may know that YOU, blessed Jesus almighty, are with me, and I have no fear, Amen." -Glory (Thank you 54th Regiment)
