The Worst Kind Of Shame Is Being

It Is When Fortune Is The Most Propitious That She Is Least To Be Trusted.

Envy Is Blind, And Is Only Clever In Depreciating The Virtues Of Others.

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.

Nothing Moves More Quickly Than Scandal.

A Certain Peace Is Better And Safer Than A Victory In Prospect; The Former Is At Your Own Disposal, The Latter Depends Upon The Gods.
