A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights.

An army marches on its stomach.

Circumstances - what are circumstances? I make circumstances.

It requires more courage to suffer than to die.

Men, in general, are but great children.

Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.

Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.

We must laugh at man, to avoid crying for him.

- All from Napoleon Bonaparte, 1769 - 1821
