In war,
In trade,

Strong men and women believe in cause and effect.
All is riddle,
And the key to a riddle is another riddle.
All the good of nature is the soul's,
And may be had,
If paid for in nature's lawful coin,
That is,
By labor which the heart and the head allow.
The real and lasting victories are those of peace and not of war.
