Laws are silent in time of war.
From Marcus Tullius Cicero
I add this, that rational ability without education has oftener raised man to glory and virtue, than education without natural ability.
What gift has providence bestowed on man that is so dear to him as his children?
We are motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is the more he is inspired by glory. The very philosophers themselves, even in those books which they write in contempt of glory, inscribe their names.
Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.
Before beginning, plan carefully.
The only excuse for war is that we may live in peace unharmed.
Freedom is a possession of inestimable value.
Nature abhors annihilation.
An unjust peace is better than a just war.
