"Now listen to me, we have won our first victory in twelve months. We attacked the enemy for the first time, and out of some miracle, or the graciousness of God, or the idiocy of war, we have survived. What can you be thinking? Have we won the war? Gentlemen, this is only the beginning of the war. We have two thousand men. The enemy has twenty thousand. And I swear, I will not eat, nor will I sleep, until I have put that river between him and us."
