The Spirit of Christianity and its Fate (1799)
“A man who has no consideration for the needs of his men ought never to be given command.”
Napoleon : In His Own Words (1916)
Preface (20 May 1926), p. vii.
Present Status of the Philosophy of Law and of Rights (1926)
Context: For those who have only to obey, law is what the sovereign commands. For the sovereign, in the throes of deciding what he ought to command, this view of law is singularly empty of light and leading. In the dispersed sovereignty of modern states, and especially in times of rapid social change, law must look to the future as well as to history and precedent, and to what is possible and right as well as to what is actual.
“Those who can command themselves, command others.”
