The big difference is, as a man, I can go to a bar at two in the morning and people will be like "He's just a fun guy! That's cool that he can balance all these things." But if you see a person that you know who has two young kids and is a mom, there's no way those perceptions are the same. It's like "Oh, there must be a problem." That's usually what women face.

Few are born bold. Even Napoleon had to cultivate the habit on the battlefield, where he knew it was a matter of life and death. In social settings he was awkward and timid, but he overcame this and practice boldness in every part of his life because he saw its tremendous power, how it could literally enlarge a man(even one who, like Napoleon, was in fact conspicuously small).

Deception is a developed art of civilization and the most potent weapon in the game of power

I believe that everything happens for a reason, and what seems bad at first might in fact be something of a blessing.

The moment people feel they know what to expect from you, your spell on them is broken.

When it comes to power, outshining the master is perhaps the worst mistake of all.

I know My God commands, whose power no power resists.
