“There are few more worthy of contempt than the man who excuses himself the burden of making the world a better place; who declares that "mankind is doomed" and there is naught to be done about it. Such people seek to shock and impress with their affected indifference, but in truth they are the most pathetic of creatures, tepid of spirit and intellectually vacant. Resist them vigorously; reject their philosophical stool without hesitation.”

“A bag of gold is the diplomat's best weapon. If you cannot buy your enemy with it's contents, you can crack his skull with it.”
