He Will Have True Glory Who Despises

All Things Will Be Clear And Distinct To The Man Who Does Not Hurry; Haste Is Blind And Improvident.

Fame Opportunely Despised Often Comes Back Redoubled.

Bad Beginnings, Bad Endings.

Avarice And Luxury, Those Evils Which Have Been The Ruin Of Every Great State.

In War, Mere Appearances Have Had All The Effect Of Realities; And That A Person, Under A Firm Persuasion That He Can Command Resources, Virtually Has Them; That Very Prospect Inspiring Him With Hope And Boldness In His Exertions.
