Joshua Chamberlain Quotes

I never could be a partisan leader - a man of one idea Picture Quote #1

This is the great reward of service, to live, far out and on, in the life of others; this is the mystery of Christ, - to give life’s best for such high sake that it shall be found again unto life eternal Picture Quote #1

Just after writing those we were called up to defend a new position on the left, where the terrible storming of the bridge over the Antietam took place Picture Quote #1

He had somehow, with all his modesty, the rare faculty of controlling his superiors as well as his subordinates. He outfaced Stanton, captivated the President, and even compelled acquiescence or silence from that dread source of paralyzing power, the Congressional Committee on the Conduct of the War Picture Quote #1

There is a way of losing that is finding. When soul overmasters sense. When the noble and divine self overcomes the lower self. When duty and honor and love immortal things bid the mortal perish. It is only when a man supremely gives that he supremely finds Picture Quote #1

We pass now quickly from each other’s sight; but I know full well that where beyond these passing scenes you shall be, there will be Heaven Picture Quote #1

I long to be in the Field again, doing my part to keep the old flag up, with all its stars Picture Quote #1

Just after writing those we were called up to defend a new position on the left, where the terrible storming of the bridge over the Antietam took place Picture Quote #1

The power of noble deeds is to be preserved and passed on to the future Picture Quote #1

We know not of the future and cannot plan for it much Picture Quote #1

A radiant fellowship of the fallen Picture Quote #1

We fought no better, perhaps, than they. We exhibited, perhaps, no higher individual qualities Picture Quote #1

But the cause for which we fought was higher; our thought wider... That thought was our power Picture Quote #1

Let me say no danger and no hardship ever makes me wish to get back to that college life again Picture Quote #1

We have to go in places no body would ever think of going into were it not for the necessities of war Picture Quote #1

The edge of the conflict swayed to and fro, with wild whirlpools and eddies. At times I saw around me more of the enemy than of my own men; gaps opening, swallowing, closing again with sharp convulsive energy. All around, a strange, mingled roar Picture Quote #1

The word was enough. It ran like fire along the line, from man to man, and rose into a shout, with which they sprang forward upon the enemy, now not 30 yards away Picture Quote #1

My officers and men understood wishes so well that this movement was executed under fire, the right wing keeping up fire, without giving the enemy any occasion to seize or even to suspect their advantage Picture Quote #1
