Napoleon Bonaparte

• I'm not built like other men.
• I am destined for greatness, but those in power only see me as a sword.
• I found the crown of France in the gutter. I picked it up with the tip of my sword and cleaned it, and place it atop my own head.
• I am the first to admit when I make a mistake. I simply never do.
• I must warn you. I will not lead a second in command. I will win by fire.
• I promise you brilliant success.
• Those in power only see me as a brute. Unfit for higher office. But I follow in the footsteps of Alexander the Great and Caesar.
• My destiny is more powerful than my will.
• Shh! Whose country are we in? Mine.
• I am the most important thing in the world!

Empress Joséphine

• If you look down, you'll see a surprise. Once you see it, you will always want it.
• You think you're great. You're just a tiny little brute that is nothing without me. Say it.
• I need to warn you, the storm is near. Napoleon is coming.
