| Back | "It is a common proverb, fair lady, that 'diligence is the mother of good fortune,' and experience has often shown in important affairs that the earnestness of the negotiator brings the doubtful case to a successful termination; but in nothing does this truth show itself more plainly than in war, where quickness and activity forestall the devices of the enemy, and win the victory before the foe has time to defend himself. |

| Front | -Es común proverbio, fermosa señora, que la diligencia es madre de la buena ventura, y en muchas y graves cosas ha mostrado la experiencia que la solicitud del negociante trae a buen fin el pleito dudoso; pero en ningunas cosas se muestra más esta verdad que en las de la guerra, adonde la celeridad y presteza previene los discursos del enemigo, y alcanza la vitoria antes que el contrario se ponga en defensa. |
