Quote

History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.

Men rise from one ambition to another: first, they seek to secure themselves against attack, and then they attack others.

I have no ambition to govern men; it is a painful and thankless office

Time destroys the speculation of men, but it confirms nature.

We have too many high-sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them

In plain words, chaos was the law of nature, order was the dream of man.”
