Previous Quote
Men have their virtues and their vices, their heroisms and their perversities; men are neither wholly good nor wholly bad, but possess and practice all that there is of good and bad here below.

Such has been my rule of expectation and it has usually brought me success.
— Napoleon Bonaparte
