More from Napoleon Bonaparte
"The people to whom I have given the most liberties are the ones who have done me the most harm."
"Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in."
"How happy I would be if I could assist you at your undressing, the little firm white breast, the adorable face, the hair tied up in a scarf a la creole."
"Power is my mistress. I have worked too hard at her conquest to allow anyone to take her away from me."
"I have fought sixty battles, and I have learned nothing that I did not know at the beginning."
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.
