You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things. Brave undisciplined men have no chance against the discipline and valour of other men. Have you seen a few policemen handle a crowd?

All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.

A civil servant is sometimes like a broken cannon - it won't work and you can't fire it.

Take not counsel of your fears

Do not make excuses, whether it's your fault or not.

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.

Better to fight for something than live for nothing.
