I Cannot Command Winds And Weather.

A Ship's A Fool To Fight A Fort.

Close With A Frenchman, But Out-maneuver A Russian.

Let Me Alone: I Have Yet My Legs And One Arm. Tell The Surgeon To Make Haste And His Instruments. I Know I Must Lose My Right Arm, So The Sooner It's Off The Better.

I Owe All My Success In Life To Having Been Always A Quarter Of An Hour Before My Time.
