QUOTES

Hope you were fascinated by Otto von Bismarck's quotes last week.  This week we'll look to another 19th century mover and shaker who doubled as a military and political leader - this time in France.  See how you like this selection from Napoleon Bonaparte.

"He who fears being conquered is certain of defeat."

"Success is the most interesting talker in the world."

"Imagination governs the world."

"The best way to keep one's word is not to give it."

"One can lead a nation only by sharing a bright outlook.  A leader is a dealer in hope."

"Conscience is the most sacred thing among men."

"An army which cannot be reinforced is already defeated."

"In war, groping tactics, halfway measures, lose everything."

"A man who has no consideration for the needs of his men ought never be given command."

"Ability is nothing without opportunity."

Hope you get a feeling for the man.  You know, he was only 5'2" tall.
