Asumió el cargo de emperatriz como sucesora de su marido Pedro III, que murió en un complot en 1762 (año que Catalina tomó el poder).

Over sixty-thousand books have been written about him, and most give us the heroic Lincoln. What we need now is a book that gives us the practical Lincoln. This is that book.

Se pueden hacer grandes cambios pero podemos empezar también por cambiar pequeñas cosas. Los cambios uno a uno significan poco, pero la acumulación de muchos pequeños cambios puede hacer que el mundo sea diferente.
