I have so often been mistaken that I no longer blush for it

When small men attempt great enterprises, they always end by reducing them to the level of their mediocrity.

Across a chasm of eighteen hundred years, Jesus Christ makes a demand which is beyond all others difficult to satisfy; He asks for that which a philosopher may often seek in vain at the hands of his friends, or a father of his children, or a bride of her spouse, or a man of his brother. He asks for the human heart; He will have it entirely to Himself. He demands it unconditionally; and forthwith His demand is granted. Wonderful!

I know he's a good general, but is he lucky?

The strong man is the one who is able to intercept at will the communication between the senses and the mind.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

History is a myth that men agree to believe.
