I have to struggle to change people's perceptions of me. I grew very frustrated with the perception that I'm this shy, retiring, inhibited aristocratic creature when I'm absolutely not like that at all. I think I'm much more outgoing and exuberant than my image.
I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can.
Fortune, which has a great deal of power in other matters but especially in war, can bring about great changes in a situation through very slight forces.
