Hannibal

I have come not to make war on the Italians, but to aid the Italians against Rome.

Many things which nature makes difficult become easy to the man who uses his brains.

I am not carrying on a war of extermination against the Romans. I am contending for honor and empire. My ancestors yielded to Roman valour. I am endeavouring that others, in their turn, will be obliged to yield to my good fortune, and my valour.

I will either find a way or make one.
