Strona 279 - The same prudence and good sense mark all his behavior. His instructions to his secretary at the Tuileries are worth remembering. " During the night, enter my chamber as seldom as possible. Do not awake me when you have any good news to communicate ; with that there is no hurry. But when you bring bad news, rouse me instantly, for then there is not a moment to be lost.
Strona 269 - Called by the wishes of the French nation to occupy the first magistracy of the republic, I think it proper, on entering into office, to make a direct communication of it to your majesty.
Strona 284 - Hungarian grenadiers, before the very eyes of the Austrian cavalry. This cavalry was half a league off and required a quarter of an hour to arrive on the field of action, and I have observed that it is always these quarters of an hour that decide the fate of a battle.

But that forehead, which seemed formed to bear the crowns of a whole world ; those hands, of which the most coquettish...
Strona 283 - To make a great noise is his favorite design. " A great reputation is a great noise : the more there is made, the farther off it is heard. Laws, institutions, monuments, nations, all fall; hut the noise continues, and resounds in after ages.
Strona 270 - States, only serve to discover in those that are powerful a mutual wish to deceive. " France and England may, by the abuse of their strength, long defer the period of its utter exhaustion, unhappily for all nations.
Strona 111 - Were I to remain here long, doing nothing, I should be lost. In this great Babylon everything wears out : my glory has already disappeared.
