Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

I am sometimes a fox and sometimes a lion. The whole secret of government lies in knowing when to be the one or the other.

The only victories which leave no regret are those which are gained over ignorance.

Independence, like honor, is a rocky island, without a beach.
