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

Duke of Wellington
I never saw so many shocking bad hats in my life.
Duke of Wellington

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

Duke of Wellington
Next to a lost battle, nothing is so sad as a battle that has been won.
Duke of Wellington
What masks are these uniforms to hide cowards!
Duke of Wellington
Habit is ten times nature.
