More from Napoleon Bonaparte
- Above all, do not fail to give good dinners, and to pay attention to the women.
- Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.
- The first qualification in a general is a cool head – that is, a head which receives accurate impressions, and estimates things and objects at their real value. He must not allow himself to be elated by good news, or depressed by bad.
- There are but two powers in the world, the sword and the mind. In the long run the sword is always beaten by the mind.
- We may stop ourselves when going up, never when going down.
- 24 beers in a case, 24 hours in a day, coincedence? I think not.
