I am more afraid of an army of one hundred sheep led by a lion than an army of one hundred lions led by a sheep.

Charles Maurice, Prince de Talleyrand-Perigord (1754-1838) French statesman
(Attributed)
Paraphrase of the statement attributed to Alexander the Great: "I am never afraid of an army of lions led into battle by a lamb. I fear more the army of lambs who have a lion to lead them."

The art of putting the right man in the right places is first in the science of government; but that of finding places for the discontented is the most difficult.

[L'art de mettre des hommes à leur place est le premier de la science de gouvernement; mais celui de trouver la place des mécontents est à coup sûr le plus difficile.]

Charles Maurice, Prince de Talleyrand-Perigord (1754-1838) French statesman
