A commander in chief ought to say to himself several times a day: If the enemy should appear on my front, on my right, on my left, what would I do? And if the question finds him uncertain, he is not well placed, he is not as he should be, and he should remedy it.

A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights.
The surest way to remain poor is to be an honest man.
Leaders have to be dealers in hope.
