"I may be accused or rashness, but..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

“All becomes easy when we follow the current of opinion; it is the ruler of the world.”

“The conscience is the sacred haven of the liberty of man.”

“One must indeed be ignorant of the methods of genius to suppose that it allows itself to be cramped by forms. Forms are for mediocrity, and it is fortunate that mediocrity can act only according to routine. Ability takes its flight unhindered.”

“Intellectual tasting of life will not supersede muscular activity. If a man should consider the nicety of the passage of a piece of bread down his throat, he would starve.”

“Nothing is ever accomplished by a reasonable man.”

“Thoughts are but dreams till their effects are tried.”

“It has sunk him, I cannot say how much it has sunk him in my opinion. So unlike what a man should be!-None of that upright integrity, that strict adherence to truth and principle, that distain of trick and littleness, which a man should display in every transaction of his life.”

“A goodly portly man, i' faith, and a corpulent; of a cheerful look, a pleasing eye, and a most noble carriage; and, as I think, his age some fifty, or, by'r Lady, inclining to threescore; and now I remember me, his name is Falstaff.”

“That men saw his mask, but the bishop saw his face. That men saw his life, but the bishop saw his conscience.”
