Napoleon Bonaparte Quotes:
Ocupation: Military Commander
Life: August 15, 1769 - May 5, 1821
Birthday: August 15
Death: May 5
What is a throne? - a bit of wood gilded and covered in velvet. I am the state- I alone am here the representative of the people. Even if I had done wrong you should not have reproached me in public - people wash their dirty linen at home. France has more need of me than I of France.
