Being In The Tuileries Is Not Everything:

If It Had Not Been For The English I Should Have Been Emperor Of The East, But Wherever There Is Water To Float A Ship We Are Sure To Find Them In Our Way.

There Are Only Two Forces That Unite Men - Fear And Interest. All Great Revolutions Originate In Fear, For The Play Of Interests Does Not Lead To Accomplishment.

In War, As In Love, We Must Come Into Contact Before We Triumph.

It Is Often In The Audacity, In The Steadfastness, Of The General That The Safety And The Conservation Of His Men Is Found.

When You Determine To Risk A Battle, Reserve To Yourself Every Possible Chance Of Success, More Particularly If You Have To Deal With An Adversary Of Superior Talent, For If You Are Beaten, Even In The Midst Of Your Magazines And Your Communications, Woe To The Vanquished!
