"It is exceptional and difficult to find..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

“True heroism consists in rising superior to misfortune.”

“All great events hang by a single thread. The clever man takes advantage of everything, neglects nothing that may give him some added opportunity; the less clever man, by neglecting one thing, sometimes misses everything.”

“France always has plenty men of talent, but it is always deficient in men of action and high character.”

“The challenge of statesmanship is to have the vision to dream of a better, safer world and the courage, persistence, and patience to turn that dream into reality.”

“The time comes upon every public man when it is best for him to keep his lips closed.”

“Effective leaders have the ability to consistently move themselves and others to action because they understand the “invisible forces” that shape us”

“Purity, perseverance, and energy- these three I want.”

“If one assumes a humble attitude, one's own good qualities will increase. Whereas if one is proud, one will become jealous of others, one will look down on others, and due to that there will be unhappiness in society.”

“It is with certain good qualities as with the senses; those who have them not can neither appreciate nor comprehend them in others.”
