JOHN JAMES INGALLS
American statesman and U.S. senator
(1833 - 1900)

I think some orator commenting upon that fate said that though the winds of heaven might whistle around an Englishman's cottage, the King of England could not.
      - in the U.S. Senate [Home]

I knock unbidden once at every gate--
  If sleeping, wake--if feasting, rise before
    I turn away--it is the hour of fate,
      And they who follow me reach every state
        Mortals desire, and conquer every foe
          Save death, but those who doubt of hesitate,
            Condemned to failure, penury and woe,
              Seek me in vain and uselessly implore,
                I answer not, and I return no more.
      - Opportunity [Opportunity]
