29.
EGYPT 125 upon a short stay there, as far as he himself was concerned, and meant to return, accompanied by a few faithful followers and covered with glory, so as to be feted as the conqueror of Egypt. Aboukir ruined that well-devised plan.
Still we shall have to confess, that in the uncertainty of human life no definite plans can be based upon such far- reaching calculations. One thing we may be sure of, that Napoleon was even then aiming at becoming the master of France ; but the means to ...that end were not yet quite clear to him. He could not remain quietly at home. Egypt lay ready to satisfy his impetuous desire for action ; he seized the opportunity, and, as is so often the -case, Fortune favoured the brave. He expected much of Fortune, and it gave him even more than he asked. It was his very absence that paved the way for the realization of his highest ambition. A shrewd observer of things human said : " I am certainly of opinion, that it is better to be too impetuous than too cautious, for Fortune is a woman, and whoever wishes to render her subservient to himself, must beat and buffet her; indeed, we see that she lets herself be mastered by such men, rather than by those who take her coolly.
