Again, in our enterprises we present the singular spectacle of daring and deliberation, each carried to its highest point, and both united in the same persons; although usually decision is the fruit of ignorance, hesitation of reflection.

In generosity we are equally singular, acquiring our friends by conferring, not by receiving, favours. Thucydides
