Σελίδα 50 - Des dieux que nous servons connais la différence : Les tiens t'ont commandé le meurtre et la vengeance ; Et le mien , quand ton bras vient de m'assassiner , M'ordonne de te plaindre et de te pardonner.
Σελίδα 343 - They had entered Portugal with so little baggage, that even the Generals borrowed, or rather demanded, linen from those upon whom they were quartered. Soon, however, without having received any supplies from home, they were not only splendidly furnished with ornamental apparel, but sent to France large remittances in bills, money, and effects, especially in cotton, which the chief officers bought up so greedily that the price was trebled by their competition. The emigration had been determined on...
Σελίδα 480 - I shall shew myself beyond the Pyrenees, the frightened leopard will fly to the • ocean, to avoid shame, defeat, and death. The triumph of my arms will be the triumph of the genius of good over that of evil ; of moderation, order, and morality, over civil war, anarchy, and the bad passions.
Σελίδα 207 - I recognize only those who serve me as relations. My fortune is not attached to the name of Bonaparte, but to that of Napoleon. It is with my fingers and with my pen that I make children. To-day I can love only those whom I esteem. Joseph must forget all our ties of childhood. Let him make himself esteemed. Let him acquire glory. Let him have a leg broken in battle. Then I shall esteem him. Let him give up his old ideas.
Σελίδα 421 - I have broken the fetters which weighed upon the people ; a liberal constitution gives you, instead of an absolute, a tempered and constitutional monarchy. It depends upon you that this constitution shall become law. But if all my efforts prove useless, and if you do not respond to my confidence, it will only remain for me to treat you as conquered provinces, and to find my brother another throne. I shall then place the crown of Spain on my own head, and I shall know how to make the wicked tremble...
Σελίδα 362 - An army of 50,000 men — Russians, French, and perhaps Austrians — - marching upon Asia by way of Constantinople, would have no sooner reached the Euphrates than England would tremble and go down upon her knees. I am ready in Dalmatia; your Majesty is ready on the Danube. A month after coming to terms an army could be on the Bosporus. The blow would reecho through India, and England would be subdued. I shall refuse none of the preliminary stipulations necessary to attain so great an end. But the"...
Σελίδα 385 - ... throne. The preliminary negotiations became each day more bitter. Napoleon pursued his aim without disturbing himself at the refusals of the prince, who, however, provoked in him some ill-humor. He had by a single stroke destroyed the illusions and hopes of Murat by writing to him on the 2nd of May, "I intend the King of Naples to reign at Madrid. I wish to give you the kingdom of Naples, or that of Portugal. Answer me immediately what you think of it, for it is necessary for this to be done...
Σελίδα 70 - Napoleon spared them when their performancescame to his ears: " MADAME AND DEAR SISTER : I have learned with pain that you have not the good sense to conform to the manners and customs of the city of Rome ; that you show contempt for the inhabitants, and that your eyes are unceasingly turned towards Paris. Although occupied with vast affairs, I nevertheless desire to make known my wishes, and I hope that you will conform to them. " Love your husband and his family, be amiable, accustom yourself to...
Σελίδα 153 - ... by the hatred and the gold of England. But, soldiers, we shall have forced marches to make, fatigues and privations of every kind to endure. Whatever obstacles may be opposed to us, we will overcome them, and we shall take no rest until we have planted our eagles on the territory of our enemy...
Σελίδα 69 - Dupin, by the most decisive arguments and authorities, shows, that although the military commission might possibly be competent judges in the case of bearing arms against...
