I did a movie in Esperanto.

I played comedies and dramas.

When I direct and have to look at filmed scenes of myself, I suck.

So many dot-com companies were formulated on air.

It's irksome to read about someone I don't recognize. It frightens me.

In my proudest moments, I think I had a real hand in the creative force of making 'Star Trek.' But most of the time, I don't think about it.

Nobody could have imagined the phenomenon that 'Star Trek' became. It's still almost impossible to imagine.

A series is filled with compromises.

Here's something pompous - you take your day and artistically create it, so every moment has an artistic flavor.

I'm looking for the perfect paintball movie.

When I did the film Generations, in which the character died, I felt like a guest for the first time. That made me very sad.

I want peace, and believe it can only be reached through union and war, and I will ever conduct war with a view to perfect an early success.

You people speak so lightly of war; you don't know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing!

Wars are not all evil, they are part of the grand machinery by which this world is governed.

War's Legitimate Object Is More Perfect Peace.

Some of you young men think that war is all glamour and glory, but let me tell you, boys, it is all hell!

War is cruel and you cannot refine it.

If nominated, I won't run; If elected, I won't serve.

I see every chance of a long, confused and disorganizing civil war, and I feel no desire to take a hand therein.

Though I never ordered it, and never wished for it, I have never shed any tears over the event, because I believe that it hastened what we all fought for, the end of the war.

You might as well appeal against the thunderstorm.

Hold the fort! I am coming!

If nominated by either party, I should peremptorily decline, and even if unanimously elected, I should decline to serve.

The way to success is strategically along the way of least expectation and tactically along the line of least resistance.

Oh, it is all folly, madness, a crime against civilization.

I begin to regard the death and mangling of a couple thousand men as a small affair, a kind of morning dash-and it may be well that we become so hardened.

The only good Indian is a dead Indian

I knew wherever I was that you thought of me, and if I got in a tight place you would come-if alive.

...[We] must stop these swarms of Jews who are trading, bartering and robbing.

We have good corporals and good sergeants and some good lieutenants and captains, and those are far more important than good generals.

The whole army is burning with an insatiable desire to wreak violence upon South Carolina. I almost tremble for her fate.

The carping and bickering of political factions in the nation's capital reminds me of two pelicans quarreling over a dead fish.

After all, I think Forrest was the most remarkable man our Civil War produced on either side.

You people of the South don't know what you are doing. This country will be drenched in blood, and God only knows how it will end.

The more Indians we can kill... the less will have to be killed the next war, for the more I see of these Indians, the more convinced I am that they all have to be killed or be maintained as a species of paupers.

We can make war so terrible and make them so sick of war that generations pass away before they again appeal to it.

The scenes on this field would have cured anybody of war.

It's a disagreeable thing to be whipped.

An Army is a collection of armed men obliged to obey one man. Every change in the rules which impairs the principle weakens the army.

I will accept no commission that would tend to create a rivalry with Grant. I want him to hold what he has earned and got. I have all the rank I want.

The voice of the people is the voice of humbug.

I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make more sacrifices today than any of you to secure peace.

I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the city of Savannah.

It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.

If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve.
