To do great things …..
…… is difficult; but to command great things is more difficult.
– Friedrich Nietzsche
Rely on your own strength…..
… of body and soul. Take for your star self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don’t take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy and invincible determination with the right motive are the levers that move the world.
