VICTORY, WINNING
The natural goal of every single plan of campaign is the point at which the offensive changes into the defensive. To go beyond this goal is more than simply a useless expenditure of power, yielding no further result; it is a ruinous one which causes reactions, and these reactions, according to universal experience, have always disproportionate effects.

VARIETY
"Gladly we would Anchor, but the anchorage is quicksand.
...Our love of the Real draws us to Permanence, but health of body consists in circulation, and Sanity of mind in variety or facility of association. We need change of objects. Dedication to one thought is quickly odious."
