Great things have been effected by a few men well conducted

I have given the United States half the territory they possess, and for them to suffer me to remain in poverty, in consequence of it, will not redound much to their honor hereafter.

My name is Clark, and I have come out to see what you brave fellows are doing in Kentucky and to lend you a helping hand, if necessary.

Never was a person more mortified than I was at this time, to see so fair an opportunity to push a victory; Detroit lost for want of a few men.

If a country were not worth protecting, it was not worth claiming.

I carry in my right hand war, and peace in my left... Here is a bloody belt and a white one. Take which you please.

In this country … men seem to live for action as long as they can and sink into apathy when they retire.
