Public opinion is a mysterious and invisible power, to which everything must yield. There is nothing more fickle, more vague, or more powerful yet capricious as it is, it is nevertheless much more often true, reasonable, and just, than we imagine.
Napoleon Bonaparte
We should always go before our enemies with confidence, otherwise our apparent uneasiness inspires them with greater boldness.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Treason is a matter of dates.
