Ludwig Wittgenstein inspires
Ludwig Wittgenstein is an Austrian-British philosopher, considered to be one of the greatest of the 20th century. His two books, Tractatus Logico-Philosiphicus (TLP) and Philosophical Investigations, were voted into the top five most important books of the 20th century by US and Canadian professional philosophers in an end-of-the century poll.
Here are some of his inspiring quotations:
1. "Our greatest stupidities may be very wise."
2. "The world is independent of my will."
3. "A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that's unlocked and opens inwards; as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push."
4. "An inner process stands in need of outward criteria."
5. "Resting on your laurels is as dangerous as resting when you are walking in the snow. You doze off and die in your sleep."

Part 2: Napoleon Bonaparte's quotes
Napoleon Bonaparte, better known as simply "Napoleon" was one of the greatest military leaders of all time. Although he was France's greatest ever general,

Here are the additional quotes from him:
1. "A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights."
2. "Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily."
3. "The extent of your consciousness is limited only by your ability to love and to embrace with your love the space around you, and all it contains."
4. "Victory belongs to the most persevering."
