"Which French General said this?" Topic

I read a quote somewhere and scribbled it down, but now can't remember where I saw it and who – if anyone – said it.

"The capture of this hill is worth 10,000 men"
Remark by a French General, Western Front 1916

"Generous bastard, ain't he?"
Remark by the General's first assault battalion commander

Also, I keep seeing this attributed to various people, including Otto von Bismark, but this seems most likely:
'Talleyrand, Bonaparte's Foreign Minister and that it ran: "… My Lord, you can do anything you like with bayonets, except sit on them… ".'

Any thoughts on sources here?

A quick google gives a variety of possible sources, and variations on the exact quote, possibly because only one of the potential originators was an English speaker. So the list I found was: Talleyrand, Napoleon himself, Thomas Hardy, Otto von Bismarck, and Boris Yeltsin. The latter with a rather nice version which goes something like ‘You can build a throne out of bayonets, but you cannot sit on it for long'!' Any more takers?

The interesting thing about the bayonets quote, if said by Tallyrand, is the meaning of the quote – that Napoleon can conquer by force of arms but he couldn't rule that way.

"You cannot stop me; I spend 30,000 lives a month." — Napoleon Bonaparte

"….Hardy, pass me my brown trousers…." – Horatio Nelson
