Selected quotes from Napoleon Bonaparte:

1. I believe that gratitude is the greatest shortcoming of human beings.

2. When thinking about a battle, I debate with myself in my mind and try to refute myself; when formulating a battle plan, I am the most cautious person. I am always magnifying dangers and surprises, and even though I appear to be happy, I am always extremely nervous and excited.

3. The glory of life lies not in never failing, but in being able to fight against repeated defeats.
