In Time Of Peace There

Those Who Have Wrought Great Changes In The World Never Succeeded By Gaining Over Chiefs; But Always By Exciting The Multitude. The First Is The Resource Of Intrigue And Produces Only Secondary Results, The Second Is The Resort Of Genius And Transforms The Universe.

The National Will Is The Supreme Law Of The Republic, And On All Subjects Within The Limits Of His Constitutional Powers Should Be Faithfully Obeyed By The Public Servant.
