Before All Else, Be Armed.

There Is No Other Way To Guard Yourself Against Flattery Than By Making Men Understand That Telling You The Truth Will Not Offend You.

There Is Nothing More Difficult To Take In Hand, More Perilous To Conduct, Or More Uncertain In Its Success, Than To Take The Lead In The Introduction Of A New Order Of Things.

He Who Builds On The People, Builds On The Mud

Men Shrink Less From Offending One Who Inspires Love Than One Who Inspires Fear.

The Unarmed Man Is Not Just Defenseless - He Is Also Contemptible.
