Those who failed to oppose me, who readily agreed with me, accepted all my views, and yielded easily to my opinions, were those who did me the most injury, and were my worst enemies, because, by surrendering to me so easily, they encouraged me to go too far... I was then too powerful for any man, except myself, to injure me.
Napoleon Bonaparte
An army must have but one line of operations. This must be maintained with care and abandoned only for major reasons.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Men, in general, are but great children.
Napoleon Bonaparte
You don't reason with intellectuals. You shoot them.
Napoleon Bonaparte
