In his memoirs he wrote, "Governments may think and say as they like, but force cannot be eliminated, and it is the only real and unanswerable power. We are told that the pen is mightier than the sword, but I know which of these weapons I would choose."[38]
Eh be' lo credo che sceglierebbe la spada, senza dita usare la penna e` difficile.
