More quotes by Duke of Wellington
As a member of the Protestant British squirearchy ruling Ireland, he was touchy about his Irish origins. When in later life an enthusiastic Gael commended him as a famous Irishman, he replied A man can be born in a stable, and yet not be an animal.
Duke of Wellington
All the business of war, and indeed all the business of life, is to endeavour to find out what you don't know by what you do that's what I called 'guess what was at the other side of the hill'.
Duke of Wellington
I have seen their backs before.
Duke of Wellington

Duke of Wellington
My rule always was to do the business of the day in the day.
Duke of Wellington
Next to a battle lost, the greatest misery is a battle gained.
Duke of Wellington

Duke of Wellington

Duke of Wellington
Being born in a stable does not make one a horse.
Duke of Wellington

Duke of Wellington
You must build your House of Parliament on the river: so... that the populace cannot exact their demands by sitting down round you.
Duke of Wellington
When my journal appears, many statues must come down.
Duke of Wellington
Rashness is oftener the resort of cowardice than of courage.
Duke of Wellington
I hate the whole race. There is no believing a word they say, your professional poets, I mean there never existed a more worthless set than Byron and his friends for example.
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
Napoleon has humbugged me, by God he has gained twenty-four hours' march on me.
Duke of Wellington
A great country cannot wage a little war.
Duke of Wellington
