“Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.”

Throw off your worries when you throw off your clothes at night.

Ordinarily men exercise their memory much more than their judgment.

The only victory over love is flight.

I start out by believing the worst

Victory belongs to the most persevering.

The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemies

There are so many laws that no one is safe from hanging.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

I make my battle plans from the spirit of my sleeping soldiers

Great men are meteors designed to burn so that earth may be lighted.

Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.

The surest way to remain poor is to be honest.

Men are more easily governed through their vices than through their virtues.

Music is what tell us that the human race is greater than we realize.

The best way to keep one’s word is not to give it.

History is written by the winners.

Knowledge is merely brilliance in organization of ideas and not wisdom. The truly wise person goes beyond knowledge.

Intensity is the price of excellence.

Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow. Every job is a self portrait of the person who did it. Autograph your work with excellence.

I will demand a commitment to excellence and to victory, and that is what life is all about.

The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.

Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

Excellence isn’t a one-week or one-year ideal. It’s a constant.

Perfection belongs to the Gods; the most we can hope for is excellence.
