    Napoleon's biggest problem was that he succombed to his own legend.  Humility wasn't his strong suit.

    He also had plans to create Paris in the likeness of Rome.  He was certainly aware of history and thought of his own place therein.  An overachiever indeed.

    You cannot get to the stars if you don't reach for them.  Napoleons problem was he lacked the fuel to get there.  Like many other great leaders, he did not know when to stop, thus giving birth to the unified European coalition that would eventually unseat him.
