“Whatever seeds each man cultivates will grow to maturity and bear in him their own fruit. If they be vegetative, he will be like a plant. If sensitive, he will become brutish. If rational, he will grow into a heavenly being. If intellectual, he will be an angel and the son of God. And if, happy in the lot of no created thing, he withdraws into the center of his own unity, his spirit, made one with God, in the solitary darkness of God, who is set above all things, shall surpass them all.”
― Giovanni Pico della Mirandola

“In this life, we are either kings or pawns, Emperors or fools”
― Napoléon Bonaparte

“The reading of history very soon made me feel that I was capable of achieving as much as the men who are placed in the highest ranks of our annals.”
― Napoléon Bonaparte

“Tous les gens sont vils, mesquins, incapables, nuls, je me répugne moi-même et je ne crois à aucune des paroles que je prononce… ”
