I have a right to be blind sometimes.

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

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!

My love is founded on esteem, the only foundation that can make the passion last.

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 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.
