"If you want a thing done well, do it yourself."
"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
"One may lose a battle, but one must never lose the advantage of a moment."
"Hats off gentlemen! Were this man still alive, I would not be here today."
"The Austrians are like babies; they always cry after they have been beaten."
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.
