Quotes
- Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I myself have founded great empires; but upon what did these creations of our genius depend? Upon force. Jesus alone founded His empire upon love, and to this very day millions would die for Him. I think I understand something of human nature; and I tell you, all these were men, and I am a man: none else is like Him; Jesus Christ was more than man. This phenomenon is unaccountable; it is altogether beyond tbe scope of manโs creative powers. Time, tbe great destroyer, is powerless to extinguish this sacred flame; time can neither exhaust its strength nor put a limit to its range. This is it which strikes me most, I have often thought of it. This it is which proves to me quite convincingly tbe Divinity of Jesus Christ. โ Napoleon Bonaparte as a prisoner at Saint Helena, 1820.[1]
