  • Possessed with a full confidence of the certain success which British valor must gain over such enemies, I have led you up these steep and dangerous rocks, only solicitous to show you the foe within your reach.

  • The impossibility of a retreat makes no difference in the situation of men resolved to conquer or die; and, believe me, my friends, if your conquest could be bought with the blood of your general, he would most cheerfully resign a life which he has long devoted to his country.

  • I'm hoping that Penn State will one day be able to find a cure for cancer. Being a part of THON means I'm doing my part to find that cure.

  • I congratulate you, my brave countrymen and fellow soldiers, on the spirit and success with which you have executed this important part of our enterprise.

  • Now God be praised, I will die in peace.

  • Gentlemen, I would rather have written those lines than take Quebec tomorrow.

  • A few regular troops from old France, weakened by hunger and sickness, who, when fresh, were unable to withstand the British soldiers, are their general's chief dependence.

  • War is an option of difficulties.

  • You know too well the forces which compose their army to dread their superior numbers.

  • What, do they run already? Then I die happy.

  • There is such a choice of difficulties that I am myself at a loss how to determine.
