Conquest Has Made Me What I Am,

If You Wish To Be A Success In The World, Promise Everything, Deliver Nothing.

The Hand That Gives Is Among The Hand That Takes. Money Has No Fatherland, Financiers Are Without Patriotism And Without Decency, Their Sole Object Is Gain.

If The Art Of War Were Nothing But The Art Of Avoiding Risks, Glory Would Become The Prey Of Mediocre Minds.... I Have Made All The Calculations; Fate Will Do The Rest.

Men Are Moved By Two Levers Only: Fear And Self Interest.

Do Not Talk To Me Of Goodness, Of Abstract Justice, Of Nature Law. Necessity Is The Highest Law, Public Welfare Is The Highest Justice.
