I am the successor, not of Louis XVI, but of Charlemagne.
A woman laughing is a woman conquered.
It's the people who are in the wrong who get angry.
A leader is a dealer in hope.
Love is the occupation of the idle man, the amusement of a busy one, and the shipwreck of a sovereign.
I can no longer obey; I have tasted command, and I cannot give it up.
