In this world, where the game is played with
loaded dice, a man must have a temper of iron,
with armor proof to the blows of fate, and
weapons to make his way against men. Life is
one long battle; we have to fight at every step;
and Voltaire very rightly says that if we succeed,
it is at the point of the sword, and that we die with
the weapon in our hand.
