Duke of Wellington
Troops would never be deficient in courage, if they could only know how deficient in it their enemies were.
Duke of Wellington
Rashness is oftener the resort of cowardice than of courage.
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
