Men, actuated by the dictates of conscience, who scorn to be ranked among the ‘great pampers’ of the nation, and by sinecures and unmerited pensions to drain the resources of their country, may do much good, even though their liabilities are small.

...operations unexpected by the enemy are, when well executed, almost certain to succeed, whatever may be the odds...

Thanks.
