Napoleon Bonaparte'

I read this quote in someone's sig on a /. comment thread today:

"What then is, generally speaking, the truth of history ? A fable agreed upon."

The quote is attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte, 18th century military officer of the French revolution; and later Emperor of France, and King of Italy. A quick search revealed tons of other wonderful and memorable quotes from him. Some of my other favorites (unsourced) are listed below:

1. A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights.
   
2. All men are equal before God: wisdom, talents, and virtue are the only difference between them.
   
3. An army of sheep, led by a lion, is better than an army of lions, led by a sheep.
   
4. The stupid speak of the past, the wise of the present, and fools of the future.
   
5. Ability is nothing without opportunity.
   
6. In victory, you deserve Champagne; in defeat, you need it.
   
7. He who is unmoved by tears has no heart.
   
8. If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.

11.
