Cross one river and everyone acts like bold decisions are supposed to come with calm paperwork. by Julius Caesar

Caesar, crossing one river is easy. Getting men to stop narrating it is hard.

Napoleon, bold decisions become paperwork only after cowards survive them.

A river is just a border until someone with ambition insults it.

Alexander, you insulted geography for a living.

Crossing the Rubicon was simple. The hard part was watching cautious men call it process.
