My character and good name are in my own keeping. Life with disgrace is dreadful. A glorious death is to be envied.

Gentlemen, when the enemy is committed to a mistake we must not interrupt him too soon.

First gain the victory and then make the best use of it you can.

Firstly, you must always implicitly obey orders, without attempting to form any opinion of your own respecting their propriety. Secondly, you must consider every man your enemy who speaks ill of your king; and thirdly, you must hate a Frenchman, as you do the devil.

I am a Norfolk man and Glory in being so.
