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

Educate men without religion and you make them clever devils.

Wise people learn when they can; fools learn when they must.

Error is ever the sequence of haste.

What masks are these uniforms to hide cowards!

The whole art of war consists in getting at what is on the other side of the hill.

I have no small talk and Peel has no manners.
