First Principles

2/6/2013

"A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man (woman).  His good example has such an influence that other men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example."  Niccolo Machiavelli

I have no doubt that our cadets are influenced daily by that one man with the simple virtues of honesty, hard work, a caring demeanor, and the will to hold them accountable for what they do and fail to do.
