The same thing happened to another field officer in the American Civil War. I can not recall who it was. End was the same.

Bingo!

My story "First Taste of Fear" dealt with the idea, "All the answers to my problems are within me" or "I can deal with this. I can (or I have the power to) handle anything that happens to me".

"Glass House" dealt with a religious belief that I heard WAY to many times, "I am in good with (or have complete in) with God. God would not allow anything bad to happen to me."

War of the Worlds - the series (1980's) popular alien expression, "To life eternal." Quinn, supreme leader of 1950's invasion force, "To life eternal, sucker!"

From - Godzilla 1998 "I think we are going to need bigger guns" and Nick Tautopolis's(sp?) "That's big!" and "That's a FOOTPRINT!"

Late Japanese 1950's post Godzilla move, "Rhodan", by a Japanese defense pilot. "It's! It's! It's a --- aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAA<crunch>".

Any variation of "Leave me alone!" It usually includes a strong admonishment to not ever aid if help is needed.

Original Star Trek, The Trouble with Tribbles, "How can something this cute cause so much trouble?"

Shaggy and Scooby Do, "We'll stay back in the van where it is safe".

Charlton Heston's epic move, The Ten Commandments. The Pharoe(sp?) ordered his troops forward after Moses nearly completes passing through the parted "Red" Sea. "They made it across. So can we."

German field General's quote to Adolph Hitler before leading German tanks into the Battle of the Bulge, "We can do it!"

Common concept in historical warfare, "Win or die!"
My stories are my writings. They reflect who and what I am. User beware.

How about...
"Trust me there's no quicksand around here."

Tarzan saying "Trust me Jane this vine could hold a elephant."

Trust me we can jump across.

Here's one.
Two gals are lost in the jungle/swamp. One is about to give up while the other wants out of the area and will do almost anything to get out of the area. She tells her friend "I don't know about you but I'm going to give it BOTH FEET FIRST!!!!" and wonders into some quicksand.

Strictly speaking, the BEST last words, non-QS, were spoken by Baron Rolf von Stuppe in THE GREAT RACE.

"As a very famous English gentleman once said, He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day so ... until another day Mr. Leslie (throws sword) ... please excuse me, I have a boat waiting....."

This, presumably, being a spoof of the identical scene in The Prisoner of Zenda.
