My Twitter message to USA hoping that US will excuse India from the threat of sanctions for enhancing trade etc. with Iran. However, Pakistan falls under different category and US informed Pak that be ready for sanctions if you try to get gas from Iran.

@USDOSDOT_Urdu Hope this will not attract any US Ire?

JANG reports the sensational IK roar that after 5/11 US drones will b shot down. I always said only brave can lead.

A timid person can be a ruler but he can never be a LEADER.

A DAWN news:

This change of loyalty has among other things caused the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), which was a non-entity in the region before, to emerge as a major political force in this part of Punjab.

“A good friend is a connection to life — a tie to the past, a
road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane
world.”

— Lois Wyse

No proceeding is better than that which you have concealed from the enemy until the time you have executed it.

To know how to recognize an opportunity in war, and take it, benefits you more than anything else.

Nature creates few men brave, industry and training makes many.

Discipline in war counts more than fury.

No enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed from the enemy until it is ripe for execution.

Nothing is of greater importance in time of war than in knowing how to make the best use of a fair opportunity when it is offered.

Few men are brave by nature, but good discipline and experience make many so.

Good order and discipline in an army are more to be depended upon than ferocity.

It is only by prudence, wisdom, and dexterity, that great ends are attained and obstacles overcome. Without these qualities nothing succeeds.

The man fitted for affairs and authority never considers individuals, but things and their consequences.

The greater the man, the less is he opinionative, he depends upon events and circumstances.

Ordinary men died, men of iron were taken prisoner: I only brought back with me men of bronze.

Statement of 1812, quoted in Napoleon’s Cavalry and its Leaders (1978) by David Johnson

What is a throne? — a bit of wood gilded and covered in velvet. I am the state— I alone am here the representative of the people. Even if I had done wrong you should not have reproached me in public — people wash their dirty linen at home. France has more need of me than I of France.

Statement to the Senate (1814)[specific citation needed] He echoes here the remark attributed to Louis XIV L’état c’est moi ( “The State is I” or more commonly: “I am the State.”)

Variant translation: A throne is only a bench covered with velvet…

France is invaded; I am leaving to take command of my troops, and, with God’s help and their valor, I hope soon to drive the enemy beyond the frontier.

Statement at Paris (23 January 1814) [specific citation needed]

The bullet that will kill me is not yet cast.

Statement at Montereau (17 February 1814) [specific citation needed]

The Allied Powers having proclaimed that the Emperor Napoleon is the sole obstacle to the re-establishment of peace in Europe, he, faithful to his oath, declares that he is ready to descend from the throne, to quit France, and even to relinquish life, for the good of his country.

Act of Abdication (4 April 1814)

Unite for the public safety, if you would remain an independent nation.

Proclamation to the French People (22 June 1815)
