Arms And Laws Do Not Flourish Together.

Men Are Nearly Always Willing To Believe What They Wish.

And When The Drums Of War Have Reached A Fever Pitch And The Blood Boils With Hate And The Mind Is Closed, The Leader Will Have No Need In Seizing The Rights Of The Citizenry. Rather, The Citizenry Infused With Fear And Blinded By Patriotism, Will Offer Up All Of Their Rights Unto The Leader And Do It Gladly So.

Fortune, Which Has A Great Deal Of Power In Other Matters But Especially In War, Can Bring About Great Changes In A Situation Through Very Slight Forces.

War Gives The Right To The Conquerors To Impose Any Condition They Please Upon The Vanquished.

It Is Better To Suffer Once Than To Be In Perpetual Apprehension.
