"The First Duty"

      "The first duty is to sacrifice to the gods and pray them to grant you the thoughts, words, and deeds likely to render your command most pleasing to the gods and to bring yourself, your friends, and your city the fullest measure of affection and glory and advantage."
 - Xenophon, The Cavalry Commander (as quoted in Pressfield's The War of Art)
