Wellington was an unusual man, who
led the English to victory at the Battle of Waterloo. Born in Dublin, Ireland
in 1769. Died in England in 1852. You can't be a Regency enthusiast without
knowing and loving the unique Duke of Wellington.
Here are a few of his quotes:
·
All
the business of war, and indeed all the business of life, is to endeavor to
find out what you don't know by what you do; that's what I called 'guessing
what was at the other side of the hill.'
·
Educate
people without religion and you make them but clever devils.
·
I
don't know what effect these men will have upon the enemy, but, by God, they
frighten me.
·
The Lord's prayer contains the sum total of religion and morals.

To have the intelligence and
vocabulary to spout such cleverness only means that he said a great many
things. That is the beauty of the written word. It stays on the page and only
changes with the readers' interpretation.
My writing is changing daily and that is what I need as an author.
Stagnant and unchanging becomes tiresome. Growth is all I can strive for in my
journey to becoming a published author.
I will not hide
my face anymore from them, when I pour out my Spirit upon the house of Israel,
declares the Lord God. Ezekiel 39:29
