“There's nothing to fear but fear itself. It's an illusion of fear. Fear is an illusion. If you gonna die, you gonna die anyway; it's not something to fear, fear is not gonna help.”

“If the bubble reputation can be obtained only at the cannon's mouth, I am willing to go there for it, provided the cannon is empty. If it is loaded my immortal and inflexible purpose is to get over the fence and go home. My invariable practice in war has been to bring out of every fight two-thirds more men than when I went in. This seems to me Napoleonic in its grandeur.”
“Nonviolence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice - nonviolence springs from love, cowardice from hate.”
“Conscience is but a word that cowards use, devised at first to keep the strong in awe”
