I divide my officers into four groups.
There are clever, diligent, stupid, and lazy officers.
Usually two characteristics are combined.
Some are clever and diligent — their place is the General Staff.
The next lot are stupid and lazy — they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties.
Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the intellectual clarity and the composure necessary for difficult decisions.
One must beware of anyone who is stupid and diligent — he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always cause only mischief.
(Von Hammerstein-Equord)

Elle me dit que pour éviter la foire du Trône
il ne faut pas lâcher la proie pour Londres.
Qu'il faut habilement tisser sa toile car
Charles n'est pas encore homme-à-régner.
Et encore moins Camilla qu'elle connaît Parker
et qui n'a pas les balls pour relever le défi.
Prenant alors congé,
réalisant la charge qui pèse au-dessus de la poire de William,
je me dis qu'il en aurait été autrement
si Diana n'avait pas coupé les ponts ...
