Imagination rules the world.
~ Napoléon Bonaparte
The human race is governed by its imagination.
In politics stupidity is not a handicap.
In politics... never retreat, never retract... never admit a mistake.
He who knows how to flatter also knows how to slander.
I am sometimes a fox and sometimes a lion. The whole secret of government lies in knowing when to be the one or the other.
The truest wisdom is a resolute determination.
If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots.
If you wish to be a success in the world, promise everything, deliver nothing.
Men take only their needs into consideration - never their abilities.
One must change one's tactics every ten years if one wishes to maintain one's superiority.
When soldiers have been baptized in the fire of a battle-field, they have all one rank in my eyes.
