The Napoleonic Guide Maxims of Bonaparte On Himself I am never angry when contradicted, I seek to be enlightened. I like not your free thinkers, fools only defy mystery. The man born for office and authority, see nobody, he sees only things, their weight and their consequence. I have never found the limit of my capacity for work. We walk faster when we walk alone.
Great ambition is the passion of a great character.
He who hazards nothing, gains nothing.
