A Battle That You Win Cancels All

Good Order Makes Men Bold, And Confusion, Cowards.

There Is Nothing More Important Than Appearing To Be Religious.

Whosoever Desires Constant Success Must Change His Conduct With The Times.

A Prudent Man... Must Behave Like Those Archers Who, If They Are Skillful, When The Target Seems Too Distant, Know The Capabilities Of Their Bow And Aim A Good Deal Higher Than Their Objective, Not In Order To Shoot So High But So That By Aiming High They Can Reach The Target.
