"Let France have good mothers, and she..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

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

“The most difficult art is not in the choice of men, but in giving to the men chosen the highest service of which they are capable.”

“Every beggar shall be arrested. But to arrest a beggar merely in order to put him in jail would be barbarous and absurd. He should be arrested for the sole purpose of teaching him how to earn a living by his work.”

“My sons...I was crazy about my sons and I think I've done a super job in bringing them up.”

“It's [motherhood] the biggest on-the-job- training program in existence today.”

“No one ever died from sleeping in an unmade bed. I have known mothers who remake the bed after their children do it because there is wrinkle in the spread or the blanket is on crooked. This is sick.”

“The only way in which a nation can make itself wealthy and prosperous is by good housekeeping: that is, by providing for its wants in the order of their importance, and allowing no money to be wasted on whims and luxuries until necessities have been thoroughly served.”

“This tribe of black gentry work more effectually against us, than the enemy's arms. They are a hundred times more dangerous to our liberties, and the great cause we are engaged in. It is much to be lamented that each State, long ere this, has not hunted them down as pests to society, and the greatest enemies we have to the happiness of America.”

“Freedom of a nation cannot be won by solitary acts of heroism though they may be of the true type, never by heroism so called.”
