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

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

Whoever gains the palm by merit, let him hold it.

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

Desperate affairs require desperate measures.

I am a Norfolk man and Glory in being so.

Let me alone: I have yet my legs and one arm. Tell the surgeon to make haste and his instruments. I know I must lose my right arm, so the sooner it's off the better.
