Friendship is but a name; I love nobody. I do not even love my brothers. Perhaps Joseph, a little, from habit and because he is my elder.

More from Napoleon Bonaparte
"It is not genius that has revealed to me all the secrets of life, but my memory."
"Both, sir!"
"It is not what is true that counts, but what is thought to be true."
"Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in."
"There for awhile I thought the jig was up. I told myself: this is act one of the cage story. Caulaincourt had better start learning to growl like a bear."
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.
