Misfortunes, untoward events, lay open, disclose the skill of a general, while success conceals his weakness, his weak points.
As many men as there are existing, so many are their different pursuits.
Be ever on your guard what you say of anybody and to whom.
The work you are treating is one full of dangerous hazard, and you are treading over fires lurking beneath treacherous ashes.
It is sweet and honorable to die for your country.
Sapere aude. Dare to be wise.
