We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much for so long with so little, that we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.

"A true man hates no one." -Napoleon Bonaparte

"Doctors will have more lives to answer for in the next world than even we generals." -Napoleon Bonaparte

"Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever." -Napoleon Bonaparte

"History is a set of lies agreed upon." -Napoleon Bonaparte

"Music is the voice that tells us that the human race is greater than it knows." -Napoleon Bonaparte

"The act of policing is, in order to punish less often, to punish more severely." -Napoleon Bonaparte

"The French complain of everything, and always." -Napoleon Bonaparte

"The human race is governed by its imagination." -Napoleon Bonaparte

"You can not lead a battle if you think you look silly on a horse." -Napoleon Bonaparte

"Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded his empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for him. " -Napoleon Bonaparte

"You don't reason with intellectuals. You shoot them." -Napoleon Bonaparte

"This soldier, I realized, must have had friends at home and in his regiment; yet he lay there deserted by all except his dog. I looked on, unmoved, at battles which decided the future of nations. Tearless, I had given orders which brought death to thousands. Yet here I was stirred, profoundly stirred, stirred to tears. And by what? By the grief of one dog." -Napoleon Bonaparte, on finding a dog beside the body of his dead master, licking his face and howling, on a moonlit field after a battle. Napoleon was haunted by this scene until his own death.

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

"what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul." - Principle in Billy Madison
