In honour I gained them, and in honour I will die with them.

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

Recollect that you must be a seaman to be an officer and also that you cannot be a good officer without being a gentleman.

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

Time is everything; five minutes make the difference between victory and defeat.

No tricks, gimmicks, special pills, special potions, special equipment. All it takes is desire and will.

My personal opinion is that guns kill people.
