“A man's power and intelligence are limited. He who wants to do everything will never do anything.”
Un Art de Vivre (The Art of Living) (1939), The Art of Working

Napoleon held that the art of war consisted of making oneself strongest at a certain point; in life we must choose a point of attack and concentrate our forces there. The choice of a career must not be left to chance.
