Once You Have Made Up

Conquest Has Made Me What I Am, Only Conquest Can Maintain Me.

My True Glory Is Not To Have Won 40 Battles ... Waterloo Will Erase The Memory Of So Many Victories, ... But ... What Will Live Forever, Is My Civil Code.

I Feel Myself Driven Towards An End That I Do Not Know. As Soon As I Shall Have Reached It, As Soon As I Shall Become Unnecessary, An Atom Will Suffice To Shatter Me. Till Then, Not All The Forces Of Mankind Can Do Anything Against Me.

The Public Spirit Is In The Hands Of The Man Who Knows How To Make Use Of It.

We Must Serve The People Worthily, And Not Occupy Ourselves In Trying To Please Them. The Best Way, To Gain Their Affections Is To Do Them Good.
