“ Neither soldiers nor money can defend a king but only friends won by good deeds, merit, and honesty. ”
Namque pauci libertatem, pars magna iustos dominos volunt.(Few men desire freedom, the greater part desire just masters.)
~ Sallust
Harmony makes small things grow. Lack of it makes big things decay.
Get good counsel before you begin and when you have decided act promptly.
Every man is the architect of his own fortune.
