“ஒருவனின் செல்வத்தைக் கவர்ந்திட போரிட்டால் அந்தப் போரில் வெற்றி தோல்வி உண்டு. ஆனால், ஒருவனின் புகழை எதிர்த்து இன்னொருவனால் போரிடவே முடியாது. நீரைப் பாறைகொண்டு நசுக்க முடியாது.”

“There is no sense in refusing honours. That is in fact to do them too much honour. The only strategy is to act so that they never weigh upon you.
