Quote of the day: “Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools.” — Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte, born in Corsica, rose to power during the French Revolution. He became Emperor, conquering much of Europe with his military skill. His reforms, like the Napoleonic Code, left a lasting impact. However, his invasion of Russia proved disastrous. Defeated, he was exiled and died in 1821. His life showed both incredible ambition and the limits of power.
