If you wish to be a success in the world, promise everything, deliver nothing. The torment of precautions often exceeds the dangers to be avoided. It is sometimes better to abandon one's self to destiny. Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever. The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos.

Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily. Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go. Until you spread your wings, you’ll have no idea how far you can fly. Imagination rules the world.

A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights. Ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent. When small men attempt great enterprises, they always end by reducing them to the level of their mediocrity.
