Napoleon I of France 259
French general, First Consul and later Emperor of the French 1769–1821Related quotes

“I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.”

“Men are born to succeed, not to fail.”

“The many fail: the one succeeds.”
The Arrival, st. 2
The Day-Dream (1842)
Context: The bodies and the bones of those
That strove in other days to pass,
Are wither'd in the thorny close,
Or scatter'd blanching on the grass.
He gazes on the silent dead:
"They perish'd in their daring deeds."
This proverb flashes thro' his head,
"The many fail: the one succeeds."
