It is now conceded that all idea of British intervention is at an end... I want to hug the army of the Potomac. I want to get the whole army of Vicksburg drunk at my own expense. I want to fight some small man and lick him.

Henry Adams

I would rather die than be in the United States Senate. I would be bored to death.

Forget it...You'd watch me just walk out and walk right into the Potomac River and drown. That would be it.

Chris Christie

've had good friends who got married after they've been together for years and they've said that it was the "next step" for them. Or, they've said, "You just can't bail out anymore."

Farewell!

Paul Hawken

Get jailed, jump bail, join the Army if you fail.

Bob Dylan

When this sad war is over we will all return to our homes, and feel that we can ask no higher honor than the proud consciousness that we belonged to the Army of the Potomac.

George B. McClellan

All quiet along the Potomac tonight, no sound save the rush of the river, while soft falls the dew on the face of the dead, the picket's off duty forever.

Ethel Lynn Beers

You can print money to bail out a bank, but you can't print life to bail out a planet.
