More quotes by Alvin York

God would never be cruel enough to create a cyclone as terrible as that Argonne battle. Only man would ever think of doing an awful thing like that.

I noticed the bushes all around where I stood in my fight with the machine guns were all cut down. The bullets went over my head and on either side. But they never touched me.

Sir, it is not man power. A higher power than man power guided and watched over me and told me what to do.

I didn't want the rear ones to see me touching off the front ones. I was afraid they would drop down and pump a volley into me.

I was sharpshooting. I don't think I missed a shot. It was no time to miss.
