It did me little good to be holding the helm; no matter how strong my hands, the sudden and numerous waves were stronger still, and I was wise enough to yield to them rather than resist them obstinately and make the ship founder. Thus I never was truly my own master but was always ruled by circumstances (Napoleon Bonaparte Quotes)
Love is the idler’s occupation, the warrior’s relaxation, and the sovereign’s ruination (Napoleon Bonaparte Quotes)

If you wage war, do it energetically and with severity. This is the only way to make it shorter and consequently less inhuman (Napoleon Bonaparte Quotes)
There is no man more pusillanimous than I when I am planning a campaign. I purposely exaggerate all the dangers and all the calamities that the circumstances make possible.

Once I have made up my mind, everything is forgotten except what leads to success (Napoleon Bonaparte Quotes)
