I owe all my success in life to having been always a quarter of an hour before my time.

I have only one eye, I have a right to be blind sometimes... I really do not see the signal!

I cannot, if I am in the field of glory, be kept out of sight: wherever there is anything to be done, there Providence is sure to direct my steps.

Our Country will, I believe, sooner forgive an Officer for attacking his Enemy than for letting it alone.

I could not tread these perilous paths in safety, if I did not keep a saving sense of humor.

Thank God I have done my duty. Drink, drink. Fan, fan. Rub, rub. Kiss me, Hardy.

It is my turn now; and if I come back, it is yours.
