Nathan Bedford Forrest

Never stand and take a charge... charge them too.

Get there first with the most.

I am not an enemy of the Negro. We want him here among us; he is the only laboring class we have.

No damn man kills me and lives.

I've got no respect for any young man who won't join the colors.

War means fighting, and fighting means killing.

We have but one flag, one country; let us stand together. We may differ in color, but not in sentiment. Many things have been said about me which are wrong, and which white and black persons here, who stood by me through the war, can contradict.

I ended the war a horse ahead.
