napoleon had some pretty goofy quotes

Interesting quote and I acknowledge at times my overwhelming and debilitating existed angst, but I am curious how you reconcile quotes like that with the fact that Napolean was one of the weakest and most awful authoritarian leader in history perhaps personally responsible for 5+ million deaths. Some may consider that strength, but personally that means to me that Napolean was also incredibly weak. Do you think Napolean was strong? I am genuinely curious. If so, why? That being said, intercepting the communication between the senses and the mind seems like very solid advice. For me it is ignoring and putting away my existential angst. Used to be heroes, like Columbus and MLK, I tend to now view in a modern and harsh light. Not at all to equate the horrors committed by Columbus with the womanizing of MLK, but I wish I could find some heroes or role models that were all around inspiring, maybe like a Gandhi or Mother Theresa.

Im interested in the quote not the person, I look to message not the messenger.
