"It is only with prudence, sagacity, and..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

“Flatterers and men of learning do not accord well with each other.”

“A nation recruits men more easily than it can retrieve its honour.”

“I do not believe it is in our nature to love impartially. We deceive ourselves when we think we can love two beings, even our own children, equally. There is always a dominant affection.”

“Those who have the courage to dare will perish. Those who have the courage not to dare will live.”

“Caution is the eldest child of wisdom.”

“It requires no small degree of ability to know when to conceal one's ability.”

“Action is hope. At the end of each day, when you've done your work, you lie there and think, Well, I'll be damned, I did this today. It doesn't matter how good it is, or how bad-you did it. At the end of the week you'll have a certain amount of accumulation. At the end of a year, you look back and say, I'll be damned, it's been a good year.”

“I am no longer surprised at your knowing only six accomplished women. I rather wonder now at your knowing any.”

“To retreat after a work well done is Heaven's Way.”
