Who said the word impossible is not in my dictonary?

The famous quote "Impossible is not in my dictionary" is often attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte, though there's no actual documented evidence of him saying it.

The quote's origin is uncertain, but it likely emerged during the 19th century and became associated with Napoleon due to his ambitious and seemingly impossible military achievements.

It's important to note that the phrase itself is a proverb, not a specific quote. The sentiment of pushing past limits and striving for the seemingly impossible has been expressed by many throughout history, and Napoleon's name has simply become the most common one associated with it.
