Napoleon Said People are Fickle

One time back in the early 1800s, Napoleon and his army were moving through Switzerland. Everywhere they went, Napoleon was greeted with thunderous applause: “Long live the King! Hail to the Emperor Napoleon!” But Napoleon didn’t seem too excited about what was going on. So a supporter said to him, “Isn’t it great to hear the roar of the crowd? The support of the people?” And Napoleon replied, “The same people that are cheering for me today would cheer just as loudly at my execution.” I think what Napoleon was trying to say is that people are fickle. One day, you’re their hero. The next day, you could be a total zero. It’s amazing how fast the roar of the crowd can turn against you. (Source Unknown).
