"The greatest happiness is to be able to live for one's country."

"I was born to rule."

"A great many things have been said about me, and I have heard them all. But I have not heard anything that has made me change my opinion of myself."

"I have lived a long life, and I have seen many things, but I have never seen a man who was not afraid of a woman."

"I have a clear conscience, and that is all that matters."
