31 In Napoleon’s Words “My true glory is not to have won 40 battles … Waterloo will erase the memory of so many victories … but what nothing will destroy, what will live forever, is my Civil Code”

32 In Napoleon’s Words “A great reputation is a like a great sound … laws, institutions, monuments, nations perish, but the sound endures and echoes down the generations”

33 In Napoleon’s Words “My power proceeds from my reputation, and my reputation from the victories I have won. My power would fall if I were not to support it with more glory and more victories. Conquest has made me what I am; only conquest can maintain me”. Napoleon’s diary Dec. 1802

34 In Napoleon’s Words “Perhaps I made a mistake in going to Moscow, perhaps I should not have stayed there long; but there is only a step from the sublime to the ridiculous, and it is up to posterity to judge”.

35 In Napoleon’s Words “In spite of all the libels, I have no fear whatever about my fame. Posterity will do me justice. The truth will be known; and the good I have done will be compared with the faults I have committed. I am not uneasy as to the result.” Napoleon’s diary St. Helena March 1817
