Additional quotes by Napoléon Bonaparte
I have closed the gaping abyss of anarchy, and I have unscrambled chaos, I have cleansed the Revolution, ennobled the common people, and restored the authority of kings. I have stirred all men to competition, I have rewarded merit wherever I found it, I have pushed back the boundaries of greatness.
The most difficult art is not in the choice of men, but in giving to the men chosen the highest service of which they are capable.
I saw the crown of France laying on the ground, so I picked it up with my sword.
