French emperor and military commander who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and led successful campaigns during the Revolutionary Wars
The battle of Austerlitz is the grandest of all I have fought.
The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemies.
Soldiers generally win battles; generals get credit for them.
Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.
A revolution is an idea which has found its bayonets.
I can no longer obey; I have tasted command, and I cannot give it up.
A celebrated people lose dignity upon a closer view.
From the heights of these pyramids, forty centuries look down on us.
Throw off your worries when you throw off your clothes at night.
The French complain of everything, and always.
