More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
Impossible is the word found only in a fool's dictionary. Wise people create opportunities for themselves and make everything possible.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In politics... never retreat, never retract... never admit a mistake.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Rashness succeeds often, still more often fails.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A man who has no consideration for the needs of his men ought never to be given command.
Napoleon Bonaparte
To command, you must first of all speak to the eyes.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In tragedy great men are more truly great than in history. We see them only in the crises which unfold them.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Strategy is the art of making use of time and space. I am less concerned about the later than the former. Space we can recover, lost time never.
Napoleon Bonaparte
History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The only true conquests-those that awaken no regrets- are those obtained over our ignorance.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The basic principle that we must follow in directing the armies of the Republic is this: that they must feed themselves on war at the expense of the enemy territory.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Much shedding of blood, many great actions, and triumphs, toil and perseverance are the end of all things human.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Passions change, politics are immutable.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Soldiers! Here is the battle you have so long desired! Henceforth victory depends on you we have need of it.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Posterity alone rightly judges kings. Posterity alone has the right to accord or withhold honors.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It is a mistake, too, to say that the face is the mirror of the soul. The truth is, men are very hard to know, and yet, not to be deceived, we must judge them by their present actions, but for the present only.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The fate of war is to be exalted in the morning, and low enough at night! There is but one step from triumph to ruin.
Napoleon Bonaparte
All systems of morality are fine. The gospel alone has exhibited a complete assemblage of the principles of morality, divested of all absurdity. It is not composed, like your creed, of a few common-place sentences put into bad verse. Do you wish to see that which is really sublime? Repeat the Lord's Prayer.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Circumstances-what are circumstances? I make circumstances
Napoleon Bonaparte
Nature intended women to be our slaves. They are our property.
Napoleon Bonaparte
We should wash our dirty linen at home.
Napoleon Bonaparte
