Best Answer

Napoleon wrote a letter to General Lemarois on July 9, 1813, saying that "impossible (as in the word) is not French". It literally means that the word "impossible" is not in the French language, while the saying "the word impossible is not in my dictionary" is one of the English variants for the quote.

He said it to make clear that his plans to conquer Europe were not just a fantasy of his, but something he really wanted to do and would do.
