When their approach suits the times they’re successful, and
when it doesn’t they’re not. My opinion on the matter is this:
it’s better to be impulsive than cautious; fortune is female and
if you want to stay on top of her you have to slap and thrust.
You’ll see she’s more likely to yield that way than to men who
go about her coldly. And being a woman she likes her men
young, because they’re not so cagey, they’re wilder and more
daring when they master her.
