#4 Possible wrong quote..
The correct one could be:
“I found the crown of France laying on the ground, and I picked it up with a sword”
or
"The crown of France was lying on the ground. I picked it with my sword,"
or
found the crown of France
lying in the gutter and I picked it up with my SWORD.".
Anyway, it was Napoleons own words on how he became the emperor..
Easy..
