Catherine the Great

• “I like to praise and reward loudly, to blame quietly.”

• “Assuredly men of merit are never lacking at any time, for those are the men who manage affairs, and it is affairs that produce the men. I have never searched, and I have always found under my hand the men who have served me, and for the most part I have been well served.”

• “A great wind is blowing, and that gives you either imagination or a headache.”

• “Power without a nation's confidence is nothing.”

• “You philosophers are lucky men. You write on paper and paper is patient. Unfortunate Empress that I am, I write on the susceptible skins of living beings.”
