Don't forget Caesar wept when he saw a statue of Alexander, because he thought the same thing.

he was born nobility, you were likely born to a middle class family whose buying power shrunk as you grew, thus dooming you to wagecuckholdry. also it's stupid to compare yourself to just anyone. compare yourself to your parents. anyone else is too different for a comparison to mean anything.

Please Veeky Forums...

shut the fuck up

You're being too easy on yourself. At 24 he was already a Brigadier-General. At 26 he was General of the Army of Italy.

JUST

Technically he is correct, Napoleon was born right before his father got officially ennobled.

In April 1770, the French administration created a Corsican Order of Nobility. He became an advocate of the Superior Council of Corsica on 11 December 1769 and a Substitute Procurator of the King of France in Ajaccio in October 1770. Carlo already possessed the title of a "Noble Patrician of Tuscany" (Nobile Patrizio di Toscana) since 1769 by permission of the Archbishop of Pisa due to his ancestry, and had his nobility confirmed on 13 September 1771. He then became the assessor of the Royal Jurisdiction of Ajaccio in February 1771, Deputy of the Nobility in the General States of Corsica on 13 September 1771, Member of the Council of the Twelve Nobles of Dila (Western Corsica) in May 1772, Deputy of the Nobility of Corsica at the Royal French Court in July 1777 and finally he was named Corsica's Representative to the Court of Louis XVI of France at Versailles in 1778.[8]

The age of heroes is dead, there are no Napoleons anymore.

Leave Wellington to me.
