"They couldn't hit an elephant at this... arrrgh". Think it's apocryphal though.

That was Sedgwick right?

Yep.
He actually finished his sentence ("They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance.") and was shot seconds later, after saying "All right, my man; go to your place" to a soldier who was ducking.

This, of course, after hectoring his men about being cowards for ducking to avoid the incoming fire.

EDIT:  I cheated.  It was Vespasian.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...Attack ships on fire off the shores of Orion...I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost...like tears in rain.

For my fellow grammar Nazis:
I am about to - or I am going to - die: either expression is correct.

Yes, i found that website as well, but didn't mention this quote because I thought the guy was too obscure.  I thought it perfect for languish, as well.

I remember that one, but don't recall who it was.  For some reason I think it was a clergymen.
