In the fields of opportunity it's plowing time again.

Ability is of little account without opportunity.

I am the youngest of 14 children, so I rarely got a chance to speak. If I have an opportunity for talking, I talk.

War is composed of nothing but accidents...there is but one favorable moment, the great art is to seize it.

My maxim was, the career is open to talents, without distinction of birth or fortune.

One of my biggest thrills for me still is sitting down with a guitar or a piano and just out of nowhere trying to make a song happen.
