Napoleon Bonaparte:
(Ajaccio, 15 August 1769 – St Helena, 5 May 1821).
Baptised Napoleone di Buonaparte, was a French general and dictator during the last governments of the French Revolution.
As Napoleon I, he was emperor of the French from 2 December 1804 to 11 April 1814. From 17 March 1805 to 11 April 1814, he was king of Italy (he took much of the Italian peninsula) and protector of the Rhine Confederation from 1806 to 1813.
His legal reform, the Code Napoléon, had a great and lasting influence on law in many countries, including the Netherlands and Belgium. He is also remembered for his role in the Napoleonic Wars and for the title of emperor he assumed. He succeeded in temporarily bringing much of Europe under his rule.
Never interrupt an enemy who is making a mistake.
Without imagination, man is a brute.
