More quotes by Duke of Wellington
A great country cannot wage a little war.
Duke of Wellington
It is very true that I have said that I considered Napoleon's presence in the field equal to forty thousand men in the balance. This is a very loose way of talking but the idea is a very different one from that of his presence at a battle being equal to a reinforcement of forty thousand men.
Duke of Wellington
If you believe that you will believe anything.
Duke of Wellington
Being born in a stable does not make one a horse.
Duke of Wellington
Habit is ten times nature.
Duke of Wellington
Today when a man gets married he gets a home, a housekeeper, a cook, a cheering squad and another paycheck. When a woman marries, she gets a boarder. To define it rudely but not ineptly, engineering is the art of doing that well with one dollar, which any bungler can do with two after a fashion.
Duke of Wellington
Next to a battle lost, the greatest misery is a battle gained.
Duke of Wellington

Duke of Wellington
I see no reason to suppose these machines will ever force themselves into general use.
Duke of Wellington
I don't know what effect these men will have upon the enemy, but by God, they frighten me.
Duke of Wellington
What masks are these uniforms to hide cowards!
Duke of Wellington
The only thing that they can be relied on to do is to gallop too far and too fast.
Duke of Wellington
Error is ever the sequence of haste.
Duke of Wellington
Always get over heavy ground as lightly as you can.
Duke of Wellington
A great country ought not to make little wars.
Duke of Wellington
As Lord Chesterfield said of the generals of his day, 'I only hope that when the enemy reads the list of their names, he trembles as I do.
