- Napoleon Bonaparte

About this Quote

This quote by Napoleon Bonaparte speaks with the power of passion as well as guts. It recommends that with adequate audacity, or boldness, one can attempt anything, but not necessarily accomplish it. This is because audacity alone is insufficient to assure success. It takes hard work, commitment, and also a bit of good luck to turn an ambitious endeavor right into a fact. Napoleon's quote is a pointer that while passion is necessary, it should be accompanied by action as well as determination in order to be successful. It is also a suggestion that despite having the best of intentions, not all goals can be attained. This quote motivates us to be enthusiastic and also take threats, however also to be reasonable and accept that some points are simply out of our control.
