“We have a vigilant consul, Caninius, who never slept once during his entire term of office!”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
“The easiest period in a crisis situation is actually the battle itself. The most difficult is the period of indecision—whether to fight or run away. And the most dangerous period is the aftermath.

—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
