Actually, Georges Jaques Danton (a French revolutionary leader) said it. The exact quote is: "Il nous faus de l'audace, encore l'audace, toujours l'audace." Roughly, we must be audacious, still more audacious, always audacious.

My only advice, offered in true humilty, is to take with a large grain du sel any bon mot attributed to the celebrities of the Revolution. Their partisans--in life and after death--were apt to graze on other people's vocal chords---if you know what I mean--depending upon which way the wind was farting.

(Of course, that applies to the little coporal a thousand times over! REF...)

Thank you for that. I too always thought it was Bonaparte who did the audace bit. Of course Nappy died in bed while Danton lost his head on Monsieur Guillotine's clever gadget. There must be a moral there somewhere.
