During the Peninsula War, I heard a Portuguese general address his troops before a battle with the words, "Remember men, you are Portuguese!"

Being born in a stable does not make one a horse.

What masks are these uniforms to hide cowards!

The Lord's prayer contains the sum total of religion and morals.

I attribute my success on the battlefield to always being on the spot to see and do everything for myself

I have no small talk and Peel has no manners.

Be discreet in all things, and so render it unnecessary to be mysterious about any.
