Quote

The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.

All that is noble in the world's past history, and especially the minds of the great and the good, are never lost.

The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.

Empires inevitably fall, and when they do, history judges them for the legacies they leave behind.

A common soldier will make an empire, but he will eventually meet his fate and be condemned to the Great Rock.

A great empire, like a great cake, is most easily diminished at the edges.

There is a noble and a base side to every history.
