[Ads-l] [for QI ?] "He who saves his country, violates no law"

[mr_peter_morris@outlook.com]

A recent Social Media post by Donald Trump:

"He who saves his country, violates no law"

A quote attributed to Napoleon, but who really said it?

Earliest reference I can find is 1917, Attributed to Napoleon
but without reference.
