>From Lenk Timour (Iron lame man)
The well-known subjugator of eastern lands, whose name is known in
Europe under the name of Tamerlan (1336-1405). For all my success I'm
obliged to twelve moral qualities. I consider one of such qualities
justness. I was equal to everyone, strict and just, not
differentiating anyone, and not preferring the rich to the poor. All
my actions were directed to general interest, disturbing and
neglecting noone. I never promised, which could be impractible. I
never wished to own others' property and I never cared to collect
much wealth. I was never envious of anyone. For preservation of my
strength a candle of justice was in one hand, in another hand I had
the candle of passionlessness and with these two candles I lighted up
my life way, that's in my actions I was led by these rules. 6. I
chose four ministers inspired with the same ideas. I'll name Mahmoud
Shahab of Khorasan and Nasreddin Mahmoud of Aramir. I ordered these
ministers to follow me attentively and to stop me as soon as I would
believe to someone's false words or would like to own others'
property. 7. Once I asked wise supreme spiritual men, what's the
secret of obedience of masses to me. They brought the text of Koran
in which there was said, if the Lord is led by justice in all his
actions and all subjugated people will obey him absolutely, his
enemies will be afraid of him. In particular, the devotion of the
subjects to their king is explained by that there's no any reason not
to be grateful or be disobedient to such a monarch. From Napoleon.
Napoleon. Many were impressed with the phenomenon, from Gotte to
Nizche. We are also impressed. To learn from them is more important
and necessary, than to be imprssed. I. The power of peoples' trust 1.
Whatever Machiavelli says, no fortress will replace the trust of
people. 2. Armed forces are not enough for defence of the country,
meanwhile, the country defended by people is inwinnable.3. There are
three ways to make people go forward- belief, fright, curiousity. II
Wealth and war. I spilt gold on the heads of my heroes, but then I
realized, that making fortune a man doesn't want to be endangered any
more. III The danger of injust distribution of wealth. The monarch
must control carefully the distribution of material wealth not to be
made disproportionately, because in this case, he could neither
restrain the poor, nor protect the rich. IV The value of honourable
man for the state. The honourable man stops before prohibited zone
earlier, than the law comes into force. but just man does it much
earlier. V The art to be the statesman. 1. Two persons live in
myself. One lives with head, the second with heart. But as the
statesman I am obliged to pass all my heart decisions through head
and taught myself it.2. The way of extricating from difficult
situations depends on correct estimation of the problems, ability to
classify them by significance. The great art of governing is in it.3.
Gentlemen, you are here (in Government) not to be agree with my
opinion, but to express yours. Then I'll compare them and I'll choose
the most correct proposals. VI Love. The love is an affair for
unemployed, for warrior is the leisure, for statesman it's subwater
rock. VII Help the searchers, never discuss which party a man is
adherent to, who's looking for justice in yourself. VIII The face of
immorality. The greatest immorality is that you do the matter, which
is beyond your power. IX Public opinion. Is it good or bad, but we
must remember that the last word belongs to public opinion.
