More quotes by Duke of Wellington

Duke of Wellington
A great country ought not to make little wars.

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
I have seen their backs before.
Duke of Wellington
