Napoléon

Overview

From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0).

• “Send me 300 francs; that sum will enable me to go to Paris. There, at least, one can cut a figure and surmount obstacles. Everything tells me I shall succeed. Will you prevent me from doing so for the want of 100 crowns?”

• “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.”

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

• “Surely in a matter of this kind we should endeavor to do something, that we may say that we have not lived in vain, that we may leave some impress of ourselves on the sands of time.”

• “‘Do you know,’ Napoleon once said to Fontanes, ‘what fills me most with wonder? The powerlessness of force to establish anything. There are only two powers in the world: the sword and the mind. In the end, the sword is always conquered by the mind.’”

• “His Imperial and Royal Majesty entered his palace at the Tuileries last night in the midst of his faithful subjects.”
