Great men never require experience.
Man is only truly great when he acts from the passions; never irresistible but when he appeals to the imagination.
England does not love coalitions.
Courage is fire, and bullying is smoke.
Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.
Patriotism depends as much on mutual suffering as on mutual success; and it is by that experience of all fortunes and all feelings that a great national character is created.
