We knocked the bastard off.

Well, we knocked the bast*rd off!

As Edmund Hilary might say, we've knocked the bastard off.

Once I've decided to do something, I do usually try to carry it through to fruition.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about dying, but I like to think that I've - if it did occur - that I would die peacefully and not make too much of a fuss about it.

People do not decide to become extraordinary. They decide to accomplish extraordinary things.
