"We know from Valerius Maximus that Rutilius in 105 BC introduced the methods of the gladiatorial schools into military training, and from the author of the fourth book of the Stratagemata that Marius was so impressed by the troops trained by Rutilius that he preferred them to his own."

- G. R. Watson, The Roman Soldier.

Men in general judge more by the sense of sight than by that of touch, because everyone can see but few can test by feeling. Everyone sees what you seem to be, few know what you really are; and those few do not dare take a stand against the general opinion. Therefore it is unnecessary to have all the qualities I have enumerated, but it is very necessary to appear to have them. And I shall dare to say this also, that to have them and always observe them is injurious, and that to appear to have them is useful; to appear merciful, faithful, humane, religious, upright, and be so, but with a mind so framed that should you require not to be so, you may be able and know how to change to the opposite.

Dubbed the "Oath of Drake,"
A noble philosophy; I adhere...for now.
