Kindle Notes & Highlights
“One must always fear the ambition of a president who, by using the influence of money and patronage, might easily want to change the state of things by attaching these regular corps to himself,
“always be frank and loyal and always tell the truth. Never be idle but be sober and frugal even hard on yourself while indulgent to others. Do not be vain nor an egotist. Before speaking or answering on something, reflect. And consider well in order not to lose your point and say something stupid. . . . If a secret is entrusted in you keep it religiously.”
