Napoleon Bonaparte
Success is the most convincing talker in the world.
Napoleon Bonaparte
All great events hang by a single thread. The clever man takes advantage of everything, neglects nothing that may give him some added opportunity the less clever man, by neglecting one thing, sometimes misses everything.
