Conquest has made me what I am, only conquest can maintain me.

The affairs of war, like the destiny of battles, as well as empires, hang upon a spiders thread.

Ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent.

True character stands the test of emergencies. Do not be mistaken, it is weakness from which the awakening is rude.

There are so many laws that no one is safe from hanging.

Give me enough ribbons to place on the tunics of my soldiers and I can conquer the world.

The man fitted for affairs and authority never considers individuals, but things and their consequences.
