Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“It would have been better to come back at the same hour,” said the fox. “If, for example, you came at four o’clock in the afternoon, then at three o’clock I shall begin to be happy. I shall feel happier and happier as the hour advances. At four o’clock, I shall already be worrying and jumping about. I shall show you how happy I am! But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you . . . One must observe the proper rites . . .”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Napoléon Bonaparte
“I know he's a good general, but is he lucky?”
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoléon Bonaparte
“When you have an enemy in your power, deprive him of the means of ever injuring you.”
Napoleon Bonaparte

“When Bonaparte returned from Italy he called on Mr. Paine and invited him to dinner: in the course of his rapturous address to him he declared that a statue of gold ought to be erected to him in every city in the universe, assuring him that he always slept with his book 'Rights of Man' under his pillow and conjured him to honor him with his correspondence and advice.”
Thomas Clio Rickman, The Life Of Thomas Paine, Author Of Common Sense, Rights Of Man, Age Of Reason, Letter To The Addressers

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“In the New Testament our enemies are those who harbour hostility against us, not those against whom we cherish hostility, for Jesus refuses to reckon with such a possibility. The Christian must treat his enemy as a brother, and requite his hostility with love. His behaviour must be determined not by the way others treat him, but by the treatment he himself receives from Jesus; it has only one source, and that is the will of Jesus.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
