Página 396 - By a slow but well-sustained progress, the effect of each step is watched ; the good or ill success of the first gives light to us in the second; and so, from light to light, we are conducted with safety through the whole series.
Página 404 - ... general, who understands the art of conciliating the soldiery, and who possesses the true spirit of command, shall draw the eyes of all men upon himself. Armies will obey him on his personal account. There is no other way of securing military obedience in this state of things. But the moment in which that event shall happen, the person who really commands the army is your master ; the master (that is little) of your king, the master of your assembly, the master of your whole republic.
