"If the art of war were nothing..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

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

“To have a right estimate of a man's character, we must see him in misfortune.”

“Anarchy is the stepping stone to absolute power.”

“Live dangerously and you live right.”

“Even those who venture to dip a toe in the pond of risk never allow themselves to get used to the water.”

“Sometimes you have to wait for the right deal. They all seem good, at least at first, and they may make you some quick money. But when the right deal comes, and it fits into your [overall] plan, it's just overwhelming success. Sometimes, with the long-term deals, you have to take a risk if you're going to get a reward. It's exactly like fighting. Sometimes you have to take chances to get that huge win.”

“Don't swap horses in the middle of the stream.”

“People who succeed at the highest level are not lucky; they're doing something differently than everyone else.”

“The average American thinks billionaire investors are going to be right based on some talking head. They invest and they have no backup plan. Americans think these guys are giant risk-takers. The truth is they believe in taking as little risk as humanly possible, for the maximum amount of upside. They're looking for that spread of disproportionate risk-reward.”
