Everything in this world depends upon will.

The world is ruled by other people, than people believe to know.

It is the lot of man to suffer.

That doctrine of peace at any price has done more mischief than any I can well recall that have been afloat in this country. It has occasioned more wars than any of the most ruthless conquerors. It has disturbed and nearly destroyed that political equilibrium so necessary to the liberties and the welfare of the world.

What we anticipate seldom occurs; what we least expect generally happens.

There can be no economy where there is no efficiency.

There is no diplomacy like silence.
