One Change Always Leaves The Way Open

Men Are Less Hesitant About Harming Someone Who Makes Himself Loved Than One Who Makes Himself Feared Because Love Is Held Together By A Chain Of Obligation Which, Since Men Are Wretched Creatures, Is Broken On Every Occasion In Which Their Own Interests Are Concerned; But Fear Is Sustained By Dread Of Punishment Which Will Never Abandon You.

There Is Nothing As Likely To Succeed As What The Enemy Believes You Cannot Attempt.

There Is Nothing More Important Than Appearing To Be Religious.

Before All Else, Be Armed.
