There is nothing on earth so stupid as a gallant officer.
I have seen their backs before.
I have no small talk and Peel has no manners.
It is not the business of generals to shoot one another.
The whole art of war consists in getting at what is on the other side of the hill.
I hate the whole race. There is no believing a word they say, your professional poets, I mean there never existed a more worthless set than Byron and his friends for example.
