Never was anything great achieved without danger. - Niccolo Machiavelli

"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."

"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."
