Context: Again, in our enterprises we present the singular spectacle of daring and deliberation, each carried to its highest point, and both united in the same persons; although usually decision is the fruit of ignorance, hesitation of reflection.

In generosity we are equally singular, acquiring our friends by conferring, not by receiving, favours.
“Without courage, wisdom bears no fruit.”
