“Men are only as great as they are kind.”

“Ordinary men died, men of iron were taken prisoner: I only brought back with me men of bronze.”
Statement of 1812, quoted in Napoleon's Cavalry and its Leaders (1978) by David Johnson
Les hommes ordinaires ont succombé, disait-il; les hommes de fer ont été faits prisonniers; je ne ramène avec moi que les hommes de bronze.

La modération des grands hommes ne borne que leurs vices. La modération des faibles est médiocrité.

“Error is the force that welds men together; truth is communicated to men only by deeds of truth.”

Source: What is Property? (1840), Ch. I: "Method Pursued in this Work. The Idea of a Revolution"
Context: To name a thing is easy: the difficulty is to discern it before its appearance. In giving expression to the last stage of an idea, — an idea which permeates all minds, which to-morrow will be proclaimed by another if I fail to announce it to-day, — I can claim no merit save that of priority of utterance. Do we eulogize the man who first perceives the dawn?
Yes: all men believe and repeat that equality of conditions is identical with equality of rights; that property and robbery are synonymous terms; that every social advantage accorded, or rather usurped, in the name of superior talent or service, is iniquity and extortion. All men in their hearts, I say, bear witness to these truths; they need only to be made to understand it.
