Bulletins de l'Armée du Nord

Le soldat français est plus difficile à conduire qu'un autre. Ce n'est point une machine qu'il s'agit de mouvoir, c'est un être raisonnable qu'il faut diriger.

Napoléon

The French soldier is more difficult to control than another. He is not a machine to be set in motion, he is a reasoning being who must be directed.
