"Make no small plans for they have..." - Quote by Niccolo Machiavelli

“Though fraud in all other actions be odious, yet in matters of war it is laudable and glorious, and he who overcomes his enemies by stratagem is as much to be praised as he who overcomes them by force.”

“Where the very safety of the country depends upon the resolution to be taken, no consideration of justice or injustice, humanity or cruelty, nor of glory or of shame, should be allowed to prevail. But putting all other considerations aside, the only question should be: What course will save the life and liberty of the country?”

“Wisdom consists of knowing how to distinguish the nature of trouble, and in choosing the lesser evil.”

“Where there are large powers with little ambition... nature may be said to have fallen short of her purposes.”

“Gratitude looks to the Past and love to the Present; fear, avarice, lust, and ambition look ahead.”

“There isn't a Parallel of Latitude but thinks it would have been the Equator if it had had its rights.”

“Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!”

“Hope sings when all melodies are gone.”

“Sport can create hope, where once there was only despair”
