A Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

Against attempts on my life, I trust in my luck, my good genius, and my guards. — © Napoleon Bonaparte
Against attempts on my life, I trust in my luck, my good genius, and my guards.
I felt like that was an important thing for guards to trust the big fella when they give them the ball - that you can catch and finish. I think that's real big for the trust between you and your guards.
Blessed be, the genius who never knew good fortune! Genius in itself already means so much; what meaning does luck still hold for him?
I wear a St. Christopher medal. On the back it says: 'Good luck, good luck, good luck - Mama.'
Luck is everything... My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I'm fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film.
I've etched out who I am through myriad haircut attempts, outfit attempts, beauty attempts, diet attempts. It's been an evolution.
All of us have bad luck and good luck. The man who persists through the bad luck - who keeps right on going - is the man who is there when the good luck comes - and is ready to receive it.
Good luck to progressive candidates in U.S. Senate elections against the usual rich, white, racist, women-hating pricks they run against.
The trouble is people leave too much to luck. They get married and then trust to luck. They should be sure in the first place.
Otherwise, their only engagement I'm going to have with [Donald Trump] is fighting back against their attempts to undo Dodd-Frank, their attempts to destroy the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and all of those things.
Luck take a second look at what appears to be someone's good luck. You'll find not luck but preparation, planning, and success-producing thinking.
I don't want security guards. I don't think security guards are particularly good for your writing.
Luck? Good luck? GM, the last time I checked, luck is for losers.
A good marriage is at least 80% good luck in finding the right person at the right time. The rest is trust.
The golden fleece of self-sufficiency guards against cudgel- blows but not against pin-pricks.
A big part of winning is having lots of good luck. And I think a good competitor makes his own luck. That's why he is a winner. Luck to me is lots of determination lots of hard work, faith in myself, and in God.
There's tons of point guards in this league. There's good point guards on bad teams.
