Napoleon Bonaparte appointed several members of the Bonaparte family as monarchs. Josephine was 32 when she married 26-year-old Napoleon. She already had two children by her first husband Alexandre François Marie de Beauharnais. Their daughter, Hortense, married Napoleon's brother Louis. Napoleon spoke with a marked Corsican accent and he never learned to spell properly. Napoleon Bonaparte was Roman Catholic. Although Napoleon in George Orwell's Animal Farm was named after Napoleon Bonaparte, the character wasn't based on him. Napoleon the pig actually represented Joseph Stalin. Because it was illegal to name a pig "Napoleon" in France, in George Orwell's Animal Farm he was called "Cesar" in the French version of the book. Napoleon Bonaparte penned a romance novel titled Clisson et Eugenie, which was a thinly veiled autobiography about his relationship with Desiree Clary. Napoleon Bonaparte was around 5'7, above average height for an 18th century Frenchman (5'5). When Napoleon left Josephine for a military campaign in 1796, Josephine started an affair with a handsome Hussar lieutenant named Hyppolyte Charles. Maria Ludovica Leopoldina Francisca Theresa Josepha Lucia was 18 years of age when she married Napoleon. ?History is written by the winners.? ?Morality has nothing to do with such a man as I am.? ?Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.? ?A good sketch is better than a long speech.? ?China is a sleeping giant. Let her sleep, for when she wakes she will move the world.? ?Impossible is the word found only in a fool's dictionary. Wise people create opportunities for themselves and make everything possible...? ?A commander in chief ought to say to himself several times a day: If the enemy should appear on my front, on my right, on my left, what would I do? And if the question finds him uncertain, he is not well placed, he is not as he should be, and he should remedy it.? ?A commander-in-chief cannot take as an excuse for his mistakes in warfare an order given by his sovereign or his minister, when the person giving the order is absent from the field of operations and is imperfectly aware or wholly unaware of the latest state of affairs. It follows that any commander-in-chief who undertakes to carry out a plan which he considers defective is at fault; he must put forward his reasons, insist on the plan being changed, and finally tender his resignation rather than be the instrument of his army's downfall.? ?A cowardly act! What do I care about that? You may be sure that I should never fear to commit one if it were to my advantage.?
