“The time has come to put an end to the fratricidal war and to recover at last peace and accord.”

I would prefer to be a citizen of an independent country rather than Emperor of an enslaved one.

As for us, during twenty years’ reign, we have known much bitterness.

If your government had given me a thousandth of the sum it spent to depose me, I could have won that war.

Henceforth, we shall be happy to be a free citizen in an independent country.

I do not wish a foreign army to spill the blood of my people.

In this decisive hour of our national history, union means life and division means death.

The principal end both of my father and of myself in the conquest of India has been the propagation of the holy Catholic faith.

When you start with an idea, or something hits you, then you have to follow that through to the end, and it’s the following through to the end that makes the pattern. That, for me, is choreography.

Peace begins When expectation ends.

Power is the supreme end for all those who have not understood.

Everyone starts strong. Success comes to those with unwavering commitment to be at the end.

If I believe that I am right, I will take it to the end of the earth until I am proven right.

Everything has a beginning and an ending. Make peace with that and all will be well…In life we cannot avoid change, we cannot avoid loss. Freedom and happiness are found in the flexibility and ease with which we move through change.

At the end of our life our questions are simple: Did I live fully? Did I love well?
