We May Stop Ourselves When Going Up,

A Man Cannot Become An Atheist Merely By Wishing It.

There Must Be Religion. Otherwise The Poor Would Murder The Rich.

A Legislator Must Know How To Take Advantage Of Even The Defects Of Those He Wants To Govern. The Art Consists In Making Others Work Rather Than In Wearing Oneself Out.

The Tools Belong To The Man Who Can Use Them.

There Is No Man More Pusillanimous Than I When I Am Planning A Campaign. I Purposely Exaggerate All The Dangers And All The Calamities That The Circumstances Make Possible. I Am In A Thoroughly Painful State Of Agitation. This Does Not Keep Me From Looking Quite Serene In Front Of My Entourage; I Am Like An Unmarried Girl Laboring With Child. Once I Have Made Up My Mind, Everything Is Forgotten Except What Leads To Success.
