Napoléon

既然姆巴佩可以，拿我们的领袖来开玩笑，我们是不是也可以用拿破仑来开玩笑？🤔🤔🤔

‘Good and upstanding people must be persuaded with gentle means. The rabble must be moved by terror.’ – Napoleon

“In war, like literature, everyone has their own style”. Here is a real quote from Napoleon that is quoted in Andrew Roberts’s excellent indeed addictive new book.

Napoleon would literally walk out of his study in the middle of running a war just to mess around with josephine like she was a kid

"Space we can recover, time never." - Napoleon Bonaparte, 1769-1821

How Napoleon Reads: "For every subject he encountered, Napoleon jotted down what seemed most important to remember. He read fast, and cut to the essential, often skipping whole passages to get to what he believed was the nucleus of the subject. He often misinterpreted books entirely."

Great Men of history are depressed. The personality that builds empires is not the same personality driven by a happy feel-good ethos. Especially in their 20s many of them are depressed. A few examples from history: - Napoleon wrote an entire paper called "On Suicide" when he was 16. - Hamilton wrote to his friend around the same age that he "wished there was a war" so that he could make his name. - Winston Churchill wrote countless letters to his mother about Loneliness while at school. - Abraham Lincoln was constantly writing about how his heart yearned for greatness, but his reality didn't reflect it. This was before he became president. - Caesar weeped at a statue of Alexander the Great because he hadn't accomplished as much him by age 30. This is a recurring pattern you see throughout history. Many greats are depressed in their youth. And often times, this is their driver towards action. They deal with their pain through pure action.

when Napoleon said:

Napoléon was the only important figure involved in the french revolution that didn't look like an ugly, diseased, dysgenic freak.

“Great men are meteors designed to burn up so that the earth may be lightened.” - Napoleon

Life advice from Napoleon for the rest of 2026 and beyond: “Death is nothing, but to live defeated is to die every day.”

“The superior man is unmoved whether praised or blamed; elevated or degraded, he remains the same.” Napoleon

Plato said that the Great Man isn't a great man. Take someone like Napoleon for example. Was he conquering for the good of France? Or was he conquering for his own glory? This is a good question to ask about the greats in modern day. Plato says: "Think only of the ambition of men, and you will wonder at the senselessness of their ways, unless you consider how they are stirred by the love of an immortality of fame. They are ready to run all risks greater far than they would have run for their children, and to spend money and undergo any sort of toil, and even to die, for the sake of leaving behind them a name which shall be eternal." He believed that the true great man was the philosopher king. Someone driven by wisdom and virtue rather than self interest. The difference is following goodness, or ambition. Napoleon and Alexander wouldn't fit this category.

Quand il est arrivé au pouvoir, Napoléon a réussi à simplifier le droit français en seulement 4 ans. Aujourd’hui, ce qu’il a fait en quatre années, nous pourrions le faire en une nuit grâce à quelques agents IA. La France meurt de la complexité administrative.

Who is greater between Napoleon Bonaparte, Alexander the Great, and Elon Musk? Well this is how I figure out how great someone is. You can use three tests: 1. Remember Test - How long will your name live on? *We still talk about Achilles 3,000 years later. *We still talk about Alexander and Caesar 2,000 years later. *We still talk about Napoleon and Washington 200 years later. *How long will Elon's and Jensen's and Zuckerberg's name live on? 2. The Creation Test - What did you invent? What idea, or product, or character do you live through? *Da Vinci lives on through the Mona Lisa *The Wright Brothers live on through the airplane *Dostoevsky lives on through Crime and Punishement. *Steve Jobs lives on through the Iphone. 3. The Sacrificial Test - How much did you sacrifice? The two greats in the MCU are Tony Stark and Thanos *Tony Stark gave up his life in pursuit of greatness *Thanos gave up his daughter in pursuit of greatness These three tests can help you gauge how great someone is. Or they can help you figure out how great someone will be.

Napoleon understood a simple principle of strategy: never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
