"If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared."
"War connot be avoided; it can only be postponed to the others advantage."
"He who blinded by ambition, raises himself to a position whence he cannot mount higher, must thereafter fall with the greatest loss."
"If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared."
"There is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantage of others."
"There is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantages of others."
"War is a profession by which a man cannot live honorably; an employment by which the soldier, if he would reap any profit, is obliged to be false, rapacious, and cruel."
"No enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed from the enemy until it is ripe for execution."
"It is much more secure to be feared than to be loved."
