"Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
This quote is easily seen in Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul. It was unknown territory for the Romans, protected by vicious natives, and Caesar forged through, often unprepared, to conquer huge swaths of land. It was a big risk at many points along his way, but Caesar refused to back down, and always pushed through, taking advantage of the element of surprise.
