"Promptly improve your accidents...." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

“When I had the honor to be a second lieutenant, I ate dry bread, but I never let anyone know that I was poor.”

“The art of land warfare is an art of genius, of inspiration. On the sea nothing is genius or inspiration; everything is positive or empiric.”

“A man is known by his conduct to his wife, to his family, and to those under him.”

“Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.”

“There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there's only scarcity of resolve to make it happen.”

“One who fears failure limits his activities. Failure is only the opportunity to more intelligently begin again.”

“Embrace bad news to learn where you need the most improvement.”

“Our shortcomings are the eyes with which we see the ideal.”

“The best way to correct a mistake is to make it right.”
