Five Leadership Quotes from Napoleon

A leader is a dealer in hope.

Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.

In war, three quarters turns on personal character and relations; the balance of manpower and materials counts only for the remaining quarter.

Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go.
