Did Napoleon really say "Not tonight Josephine"? It is generally classified as one of the great misquotes along with Marie Antoinette's "Let them eat cake!" I reckon of course he said it. He wasn't the type to make up lame excuses if he didn't feel up to it. What do you think?

On a more serious note: Napoleon and his campaigns were the greatest work inspired by the French Revolution. He is generally credited with having consolidated the gains of the Revolution. H.A.L.Fisher wrote: "Bonaparte came to close the Romance of the Revolution, to heal the wounds, to correct the extravagances, to secure the conquests"
