The English have no exaulted sentiments. They can all be bought.
Victory belongs to the most persevering.
Success is the most convincing talker in the world.
The worse the man the better the soldier. If soldiers be not corrupt they ought to be made so.
A great reputation is a great noise, the more there is of it, and the further does it swell. Land, monuments, Nations, all fall, but the noise remains, and will reach to other generations.
There shall be no Alps.
