Just Napoleon and me
Bonjour from a rainy SW France,
You do not get much more French than Napoleon Bonaparte and today I am surrounded by him. He is everywhere I look and for a small man he had a mighty presence.
We have a few Napoleon objects listed in our online shop and we have even more in French Boyfriends boutique which will be reopening on the 11th of May after being closed for 2 months due to the corona virus restrictions in France.
Note for those of you that are fans of Napoleon there is a museum that is run by one of his descendants and is situated an hour and a half's drive from us and we learnt a lot about the life of this fabulous Frenchman.
Here are some quotes from Napoleon Bonaparte....
An army marches on its stomach.
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
History is a set of lies agreed upon.
A leader is a dealer in hope.
Victory belongs to the most persevering.
Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.
Ability is nothing without opportunity.
What is history but a fable agreed upon"
Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
Imagination rules the world.
My favourite is his quote about imagination, what is yours"
