"It is not by whining that one..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

“All the great captains have performed vast achievements by conforming with the rules of art--by adjusting efforts to obstacles.”

“The act of policing is, in order to punish less often, to punish more severely.”

“War justifies everything.”

“I don't pose as an authority on anything at all, I follow the opinions of the ordinary people I meet, and I take pride in the close-knit teamwork with my organization.”

“The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.”

“It doesn’t make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.”

“How can we speak of the action of the mind under any divisions, as of its knowledge, of its ethics, of its works, and so forth, since it melts will into perception, knowledge into act? Each becomes the other. Itself alone is.”

“I used to listen to what others said, and expect them to act accordingly. But nowadays, I listen to what they say, and then observe what they do.”

“Change is automatic, Progress is Not!”
