The Best Way To Keep One's Word

Men Grow Old Quickly On The Battlefield.

Men Of Genius Are Meteors Destined To Burn Themselves Out In Lighting Up Their Age.

Nothing Renders A Nation So Despicable As Religious Despotism.

Anarchy Is The Stepping Stone To Absolute Power.

There Is No Man More Pusillanimous Than I When I Am Planning A Campaign. I Purposely Exaggerate All The Dangers And All The Calamities That The Circumstances Make Possible. I Am In A Thoroughly Painful State Of Agitation. This Does Not Keep Me From Looking Quite Serene In Front Of My Entourage; I Am Like An Unmarried Girl Laboring With Child. Once I Have Made Up My Mind, Everything Is Forgotten Except What Leads To Success.
