Never Relinquish The Initiative.

A Great Country Worthy Of The Name Does Not Have Any Friends.

Diplomats Are Useful Only In Fair Weather. As Soon As It Rains They Drown In Every Drop.

No, I'm Not Talking About The Russians; I Mean The Germans. In Spite Of Everything, To Have Pushed So Far!

Never Relinquish The Initiative.

Nothing More Enhances Authority Than Silence. It Is The Crowning Virtue Of The Strong, The Refuge Of The Weak, The Modesty Of The Proud, The Pride Of The Humble, The Prudence Of The Wise, And The Sense Of Fools. To Speak Is To . . . Dissipate One's Strength; Whereas What Action Demands Is Concentration. Silence Is A Necessary Preliminary To The Ordering Of One's Thoughts.
