Action
Every man of action has a strong dose of egoism, pride, hardness, and cunning. But all those things will be regarded as high qualities if he can make them the means to achieve great ends.
Authority
Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence.
Determination
Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so.
Mastery
In order to become the master, the politician poses as the servant.
Treaties
Treaties are like roses and young girls -- they last while they last
