"Since a ruler needs to know how to make good use of beastly qualities, he should take as his models among the animals both the fox and the lion, for the lion does not know how to avoid traps, and the fox is easily overpowered by wolves.” This quote from Nicole Machiavelli’s The Prince means that a ruler should be tricky and deceptive like a fox, and should be strong both as a ruler and in war like a lion. Napoleon Bonaparte, Henry IV, and Elizabeth I all displayed both fox and lion-like qualities and policies throughout their reigns.
Napoleon, although it was not to the degree of the others, acted as a fox during his reign. ...
Napoleon also acted like a lion during his rule as the majority of Europe was under his control at the height of his power. Quite possibly the greatest military leader of all times, Napoleon fought and defeated many European countries even when he was outnumbered. ... Napoleon was a smart and powerful military leader as Machiavelli suggests and it led him to defeat nearly every European power on the continent.
