It Is Better To Act And Repent

Men May Second Fortune, But They Cannot Thwart Her.

Men Are Driven By Two Principal Impulses, Either By Love Or By Fear.

Benefits Should Be Granted Little By Little, So That They May Be Better Enjoyed.

When They Remain In Garrison, Soldiers Are Maintained With Fear And Punishment; When They Are Then Led To War, With Hope And Reward.

Without Doubt, Ferocious And Disordered Men Are Much Weaker Than Timid And Ordered Ones. For Order Chases Fear From Men And Disorder Lessens Ferocity.
