"I see only my objective - the..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

“Champagne! In victory, one deserves it; in defeat one needs it.”

“Many a one commits a reprehensible action, who is at bottom an honourable man, because man seldom acts upon natural impulse, but from some secret passion of the moment which lies hidden and concealed within the narrowest folds of his heart.”

“The reason most people fail instead of succeed is they trade what they want most for what they want at the moment.”

“I don't stop when I'm tired. I only stop when I'm done.”

“I have not become the Kings First Minister in order to preside over the liquidation of the British Empire.”

“I have discovered in life that there are ways of getting almost anywhere you want to go, if you really want to go.”

“Water the fruit trees and don’t water the thorns.”

“You can be an artist without visual images, a reader without eyes, a mass of erudition with a bad elementary memory. In almost any subject your passion for the subject will save you. If you only care enough for a result, you will almost certainly attain it. If you wish to be rich, you will be rich; if you wish to be learned, you will be learned; if you wish to be good, you will be good. Only you must, then, really wish these things, and wish them with exclusiveness, and not wish at the same time a hundred other incompatible things just as strongly.”

“Not the why but the what.”
