Bab 498: The Growth of Julian

"Nam unusquisque naturali necessitate bonum sibi appetit, neque est quisquam qui bellum istud omnium contra omnes, quod tali statui naturaliter adhæret, sibi existimat esse bonum"

"For every man by natural necessity desires that which is good for him: nor is there any that esteems a war of all against all, which necessarily adheres to such a state, to be good for him"

-        De Cive, Chapter 1 Section 13, Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury

"And in the end after much consideration and observation, we have decided to choose you, my friend Julian. I hope that you shall not disappoint me in your subsequent missions, and I hope that you shall never disregard your fellow commanders because you are given the command of the army. I shall not interfere with your command any longer, go, Julian, show me what you are capable of doing. I shall be here waiting for your come back in Ptolemaida."
