War is the domain of physical exertion and suffering.

Success depends in a very large measure upon individual initiative and exertion and cannot be achieved except by a dint of hard work.

But the general welfare must restrict and regulate the exertions of the individuals as the individuals must derive a supply of their strength from social power.

The strength of a man's virtue should not be measured by his special exertions but by his habitual acts.

There are two ways of exerting one's strength: one is pushing down the other is pulling up.

The sublimity of administration consists in knowing the proper degree of power that should be exerted on different occasions.

The power I exert on the court depends on the power of my arguments not on my gender.

I am not unconscious of the persuasive power exerted by these considerations to drag men along in the current but I am not at liberty to travel that road.
