"The herd seek out the great, not for their sake but for their influence; and
the great welcome them out of vanity or need." ~Napoléon (1769-1821)

Seems somewhat of an overly simplified point of view. Similarly minded kindred

risk of being threatened. Unhappy individuals with common misery love company.

A lot of the herd seek out the great for their influence, but also a lot of the others seek them out, not because they are self-seeking political animals, but because they are starstruck

Well, it was also Napoleon who sent a courier to his mistress to tell her that he would be home in a few weeks and that she should not clean herself down there until then. In view of this, is it really important what we think about Napoleon's statements?
