Quoting Napoleon: “In war, men are nothing, one man is everything.”

But he lost the war. And it’s a quote degrading everyones effort because everyone put in the effort.

But the baghavad gita conveys the same idea.

and all of us know alexander, jesus, chinggis khan, buddha, krishna, churchill, etc.

we don’t know the millions of followers and fighters.

so in a sense that quote carries weight.
