With great care we might have a dog's chance, but no more.

I do no think human beings ever came through such a month as we have…We are weak, writing is difficult, but for my own sake I do not regret this journey, which has shown that Englishmen can endure hardships, help one another, and meet death with as great a fortitude as ever in the past.

I may not have proved a great explorer, but we have done the greatest march ever made and come very near to great success.

I can imagine few things more trying to the patience than the long wasted days of waiting.

Jurors realize that instead of having to make that terrible decision (voting for the death penalty), they can vote to put someone in prison and ensure that defendant is no longer a harm to society. It makes it easier for them to return a verdict of life without the possibility of parole.

Slowly but surely the sea is freezing over.

To wait idly is the worst of conditions.
