"Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
-Emerson
This quote reminded me instantly of the Gallic wars in which Caesar trailblazed his own path through the construction of a bridge across the Rhine River. Caesar wanted to cross the river onto the German side before his enemies could reach him. He uses this preemptive military strategy during several other battles, as detailed in "Caesar: Rome's Most Righteous Warlord" essay. His swiftness of action, fearlessness of critics, and ability to take on the previously thought to be unattainable feats, are reasons why Caesar was a visionary and well-respected leader.
