You know that I am no flatterer.

But I tell you, sir, from my inmost heart that you are the only man to lead the people, because you are the only man whose courage never fails.

God knows how you manage it.

I am of the bull-dog type and hold on because I do not know how to let go.

Most of my work I do in utter hopelessness.
But you, sir, you never come within a mile of despair.
