Jacques Louis David, "The Consecration of the Emporer Napoleon I and the Coronation of the Empress Josephine" (1805-7), The Louvre
Men have their virtues and their vices, their heroisms and their perversities; men are neither wholly good nor wholly bad, but possess and practice all that there is of good and bad here below. Such is the general rule. Temperament, education, the accidents of life, are modifying factors. Outside of this, everything is ordered arrangement, everything is chance. Such has been my rule of expectation and it has usually brought me success.
-Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)
