"The most difficult art is not in..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

“What I have done up to this is nothing. I am only at the beginning of the course I must run. Do you imagine that I triumph in Italy in order to aggrandise the pack of lawyers who form the Directory, and men like Carnot and Barras? What an idea!”

“Courage is like love; it must have hope for nourishment.”

“Doctors will have more lives to answer for in the next world than even we generals.”

“Woe betide the leaders now perched on their dizzy pinnacles of triumph if they cast away at the conference table what the soldiers had won on a hundred bloodsoaked battlefields.”

“The art of government is not to let me grow stale.”

“The system is that there is no system. That doesn't mean we don't have process. Apple is a very disciplined company, and we have great processes. But that's not what it's about. Process makes you more efficient ... But innovation comes from people meeting up in the hallways or calling each other at 10:30 at night with a new idea, or because they realized something that shoots holes in how we've been thinking about a problem. It's ad hoc meetings of six people called by someone who thinks he has figured out the coolest new thing ever and who wants to know what other people think of his idea.”

“A career is born in public - talent in privacy.”

“Good people are not trained, they are found. If you are training too much, you may not have the right people.”

“I wasn't the cutest or the most talented, but I could get through the question-and-answer period.”
