War will of itself discover and lay open the hidden and rankling wounds of the victorious party.
Remedies are more tardy in their operation than diseases.

Even honor and virtue make enemies, condemning, as they do, their opposites by too close a contrast.
Posterity allows to every man his true value and proper honours.
Necessity reforms the poor, and satiety reforms the rich.
