The purely defensive is doomed to defeat.
My success and everything good that I have done, I owe to my mother.
The greatest danger occurs at the moment of victory
I have so often been mistaken that I no longer blush for it
The only way to lead people is to show them a future: a leader is a dealer in hope.
Die young, and I shall accept your death-but not if you have lived without glory, without being useful to your country, without leaving a trace of your existence: for that is not to have lived at all.
