"What I have done up to this..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

“History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.”

“All the great captains have performed vast achievements by conforming with the rules of art--by adjusting efforts to obstacles.”

“Never lose sight of this maxim, that you should establish your cantonments at the most distant and best protected point from the enemy, especially where a surprise is possible. By this means you will have time to unite all your forces before he can attack you.”

“I refuse to let adversity allow me to be average.”

“Let me, if not by birth, have lands by wit;All with me's meet that I can fashion fit.”

“The United States of America has no intention of finishing second in space. This effort is expensive-but it pays its way for freedom and for America.”

“Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward.”

“Don't let the doom criers and the cynics persuade you that the best is past.”

“The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough.”
