I only know a few to be honest:

Men are Moved by two levers only: fear and self interest.

He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat.

True heroism consists in being superior to the ills of life, in whatever shape they may challenge us to combat.

Order marches with weighty and measured strides. Disorder is always in a hurry.

Soldiers generally win battles; generals get credit for them.

The herd seek out the great, not for their sake but for their influence; and the great welcome them out of vanity or need.

If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.
