Quote

I will be as harsh as truth, and uncompromising as justice... I am in earnest, I will not equivocate, I will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch, and I will be heard.

I will not retreat; I will find the strength to reach my goal.

When my enemies stop hissing, I shall know I'm slipping.

No other terms than unconditional and immediate surrender. I propose to move immediately upon your works.

Never retreat. Never explain. Get it done and let them howl.

If, amid the multitude of contending counsel, you have hesitated and doubted; if, when a great measure suggested itself, you have shrunk from the vast responsibility, afraid to go forward lest you should go wrong, what wonder?

The time to hesitate is through.

Are you going to come quietly, or do I have to use earplugs?
