Σελίδα 417 - It is my wish that my ashes may repose on the banks of the Seine, in the midst of the French people, whom I have loved so well.
Σελίδα 134 - Empire, which, pressed on all sides by the barbarians, rendered itself a scoff to posterity by entering into abstract discussions at the very moment when the battering-ram was at the gates of the city. In all circumstances my conduct will be direct and firm. Aid me to save the country.

Σελίδα 57 - Duroc, who, when his bowels were falling out before my eyes, repeatedly cried to me to have him put out of his misery. I said to him, " I pity you, my friend, but there is no help for it — you must suffer on to the end.
Σελίδα 23 - I will always follow the road of honour. I will record with my pen the deeds we have done together. I cannot embrace you all, but I embrace your general — (he pressed the general to his bosom). — Bring hither the eagle...
Σελίδα 395 - I have sanctioned all principles, and infused them into my laws and acts ; I have not omitted a single one. Unfortunately, however, the circumstances in which I was placed were arduous, and I was obliged to act with severity, and to postpone the execution of my plans. Our reverses occurred : I could not unbend the bow : and France has been deprived of the liberal institutions I intended to give her. She judges me with indulgence : she feels grateful for my intentions : she cherishes my name and my...
Σελίδα 437 - This is my codicil, or Act of my last Will. Upon the funds remitted in gold to the Empress Maria Louisa, my very dear and well-beloved spouse, at Orleans, in 1814, she remains in my debt two millions, of which I dispose by the present Codicil, for the purpose of recompensing my most faithful servants whom moreover I recommend to the protection of my dear Maria Louisa.
