The Empress Josephine Quotes

“You feel downhearted and ashamed, because your sister Pauline is not rich, because she possesses nothing but her beauty and her name: but be of good cheer, she will one day be the wife of the wealthiest prince of Italy; all the treasures of art will be gathered in her palace, and yet she will be the most precious ornament of that palace!”
― L. Mühlbach, Empress Josephine: An Historical Sketch of the Days of Napoleon
