No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar

I am rather inclined to silence, and whether that be wise or not, it is at least more unusual nowadays to find a man who can hold his tongue than to find one who cannot.

I am a slow walker, but I never walk back.

I do the very best I know how - the very best I can and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.

I will prepare and some day my chance will come

I know that the gentlemen in the enemy camp may think of me however they like. I consider it beneath me to try to change the minds of these gentlemen.
