Many Difficulties Which Nature Throws In Our

False Shame Only Is Harmful.

Events Of Great Consequence Often Spring From Trifling Circumstances.

No Law Can Possibly Meet The Convenience Of Every One: We Must Be Satisfied If It Be Beneficial On The Whole And To The Majority.

Thus, If There Is Anyone Who Is Confident That He Can Advise Me As To The Best Advantage Of The State In This Campaign Which I Am About To Conduct, Let Him Not Refuse His Services To The State, But Come With Me Into Macedonia. I Will Furnish Him With His Sea-passage, With A Horse, A Tent, And Even Travel-funds. If Anyone Is Reluctant To Do This And Prefers The Leisure Of The City To The Hardships Of Campaigning, Let Him Not Steer The Ship From On Shore.

In Difficult And Desperate Cases, The Boldest Counsels Are The Safest.
