Napoleon Bonaparte Self Knowledge	No one but myself ever did me any harm. I was, I may say, the only enemy to myself: my own projects, that expedition to Moscow, and the accidents which happened there, were the causes of my fall. I must say, though, that those who failed to oppose me, who readily agreed with me, accepted all my views, and yielded easily to my opinions, were those who did me the most injury, and were my worst enemies, because, by surrendering to me so easily, they encouraged me to go too far... I was then too powerful for any man, except myself, to injure me.
