"There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things."

"Whosoever desires constant success must change his conduct with the times."

"War is just when it is necessary; arms are permissible when there is no hope except in arms."
