The worse the man, the better the soldier.

A true man hates no one.

Nothing is lost as long as courage remains

If the art of war were nothing but the art of avoiding risks, glory would become the prey of mediocre minds.... I have made all the calculations; fate will do the rest.

The Bible is no mere book, but a Living Creature, with a power that conquers all that oppose it.

Never depend on the multitude, full of instability and whims; always take precautions against it.

If you wish to be a success in the world, promise everything, deliver nothing.
