The Mind Sins, Not The Body; If

Law Is A Thing Which Is Insensible, And Inexorable, More Beneficial And More Profitious To The Weak Than To The Strong; It Admits Of No Mitigation Nor Pardon, Once You Have Overstepped Its Limits.

Thus, If There Is Anyone Who Is Confident That He Can Advise Me As To The Best Advantage Of The State In This Campaign Which I Am About To Conduct, Let Him Not Refuse His Services To The State, But Come With Me Into Macedonia. I Will Furnish Him With His Sea-passage, With A Horse, A Tent, And Even Travel-funds. If Anyone Is Reluctant To Do This And Prefers The Leisure Of The City To The Hardships Of Campaigning, Let Him Not Steer The Ship From On Shore.

Adversity Reminds Men Of Religion.

Under The Influence Of Fear, Which Always Leads Men To Take A Pessimistic View Of Things, They Magnified Their Enemies' Resources, And Minimized Their Own.

In Adversity Assume The Countenance Of Prosperity, And In Prosperity Moderate The Temper And Desires.
