"I have given the prime example of a government which favored the interests of all. I did not govern for the nobles, the priests, the middle class, or the workers. I governed for... the whole great French family... Regenerate [Europe]... through laws; establish above all institutions which destroy all traces of feudalism, which assure the dignity of man [and] develop the germs of prosperity which have lain dormant over the centuries; see that the masses share in that which is today the province of the few; reunite Europe through indissoluble federative ties..."
-Napoleon Buonaparte
