More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
So you think the police foresees and knows everything. The police invents more than it discovers.
Napoleon Bonaparte
What a beautiful fix we are in now peace has been declared.
Napoleon Bonaparte
How can you have order in a state without religion? For, when one man is dying of hunger near another who is ill of surfeit, he cannot resign himself to this difference unless there is an authority which declares 'God wills it thus.' Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The bed has become a place of luxury to me! I would not exchange it for all the thrones in the world.
Napoleon Bonaparte
For my part, it is not the mystery of the incarnation which I discover in religion, but the mystery of social order, which associates with heaven that idea of equality which prevents the rich from destroying the poor
Napoleon Bonaparte
Clearly, the pleasures wines afford are transitory - but so are those of the ballet, or of a musical performance. Wine is inspiring and adds greatly to the joy of living.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Prison, blood, death, create enthusiasts and martyrs, and bring forth courage and desperate resolution.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A cowardly act! What do I care about that? You may be sure that I should never fear to commit one if it were to my advantage.
Napoleon Bonaparte
What is the government? Nothing, unless supported by opinion.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Women are nothing but machines for producing children.
Napoleon Bonaparte
If you wage war, do it energetically and with severity. This is the only way to make it shorter and consequently less inhuman.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Charges of cavalry are equally useful at the beginning, the middle and the end of a battle. They should be made always, if possible, on the flanks of the infantry, especially when the latter is engaged in front.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The worse the man, the better the soldier.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A good sketch is better than a long speech.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Public esteem is the recompense of honest men.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Our credulity is a part of the imperfection of our natures. It is inherent in us to desire to generalize, when we ought, on the contrary, to guard ourselves very carefully from this tendency.
Napoleon Bonaparte
If it had not been for the English I should have been emperor of the East, but wherever there is water to float a ship we are sure to find them in our way.
Napoleon Bonaparte
All the women in the world would not make me lose an hour.
Napoleon Bonaparte
We must laugh at man to avoid crying for him.
Napoleon Bonaparte
