If I Fail It Is

I Believe That The Members Of My Family Must Be As Free From Suspicion As From Actual Crime.

I Wished My Wife To Be Not So Much As Suspected.

Wine And Other Luxuries Have A Tendency To Enervate The Mind And Make Men Less Brave In Battle.

And When The Drums Of War Have Reached A Fever Pitch And The Blood Boils With Hate And The Mind Is Closed, The Leader Will Have No Need In Seizing The Rights Of The Citizenry. Rather, The Citizenry Infused With Fear And Blinded By Patriotism, Will Offer Up All Of Their Rights Unto The Leader And Do It Gladly So.

Go On, My Friend, And Fear Nothing; You Carry Caesar And His Fortune In Your Boat.
