Okay folks, to celebrate Napoleon’s birthday, I’m going to make you a promise – when the Napoleon Bonaparte Podcast Facebook page gets to 1000 likes, I will hold JDM down and FORCE him to record a new episode with me!

Do we have a deal??

Now I know there are a lot more than 1000 of you out there who listen (or have listened) to the show, and yet our Facebook page only has 247 likes as of today. So…. get to it if you want to hear JDM’s sonorous tones in your microphone one more time!

To celebrate Napoleon’s 243rd birthday (August 15), I thought I’d bring you some of my favourite quotes from the man. Feel free to share yours in the comments section!

1. “Death is nothing; but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.”

2. “Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.”

3. “I saw the crown of France laying on the ground, so I picked it up with my sword.”

4. “A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of coloured ribbon.”

5. “He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat.”

6. “Victory belongs to the most persevering.”

7. “History is a set of lies agreed upon.”

8. “If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.”

9. “Men are moved by two levers only: fear and self interest.”

10. “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

ummm…. ok.
