I am making this statement as an act of wilful defiance of military authority, because I believe that the War is being deliberately prolonged by those who have the power to end it.

We are all worms. But I believe that I am a glow-worm.

I believe that the purpose for which I and my fellow soldiers entered upon this war should have been so clearly stated as to have made it impossible to change them, and that, had this been done, the objects which actuated us would now be attainable by negotiation.

I am a capitalist and I believe in making a profit.

If I believe that I am right, I will take it to the end of the earth until I am proven right.

I am where I am because I believe in all possibilities.
