"The art of war is to gain time when your strength is inferior."
"This soldier, I realized, must have had friends at home and in his regiment; yet he lay there deserted by all except his dog."
"I have made all the mistakes of the generals before me, and I have learned from them."
"Nothing is lost as long as one thinks it is not."
"Ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent."
About Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)
French military leader who crowned himself Emperor in 1804, conquered most of continental Europe, and was finally defeated at Waterloo (1815) before exile to Saint Helena. Closely associated with Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand (his foreign minister, then his betrayer). For an intellectual contrast, see Duke of Wellington, British general and later Prime Minister — Wellington's Peninsular and Waterloo campaigns finally defeated Napoleon. The two never met but their generalships are the canonical opposed European military traditions — Napoleon's offensive-genius mass-conscription model and Wellington's defensive-discipline reverse-slope tactics are the textbook 'French Revolutionary vs British line' military pairing.
