Duke of Wellington
Napoleon has humbugged me, by God he has gained twenty-four hours' march on me.
Duke of Wellington
If you believe that you will believe anything.
Duke of Wellington
When other Generals make mistakes their armies are beaten when I get into a hole, my men pull me out of it.

There is no mistake there has been no mistake and there shall be no mistake.
Duke of Wellington
