Liberty and equality are magical words.
Napoleon Bonaparte
When a man is a favorite of Fortune she never takes him unawares, and, however astonishing her favors may be, she finds him ready.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Between a battle lost and a battle won, the distance is immense and there stand empires.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The process of quitting smoking doesn't end with the last cigarette. It's not quitting itself, the real key is staying quit
Napoleon Bonaparte
In war, groping tactics, half-way measures, lose everything.
Napoleon Bonaparte
To attach no importance to public opinion, is a proof that you do not merit its suffrage.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Being in the Tuileries is not everything: what matters is to stay here.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The best generals are those who have served in the artillery.
Napoleon Bonaparte
France always has plenty men of talent, but it is always deficient in men of action and high character.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Secrets travel fast in Paris.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I do not believe it is in our nature to love impartially. We deceive ourselves when we think we can love two beings, even our own children, equally. There is always a dominant affection.
Napoleon Bonaparte
One bad general is worth two good ones.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Time is the great art of man.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Die young, and I shall accept your death-but not if you have lived without glory, without being useful to your country, without leaving a trace of your existence: for that is not to have lived at all.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded his empire upon love and at this hour millions of men would die for him.
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 scholastic scaffolding falls, as a ruined edifice, before a single word: faith.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In war, the moral element and public opinion are half the battle.
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
Public opinion is a mysterious and invisible power, to which everything must yield. There is nothing more fickle, more vague, or more powerful yet capricious as it is, it is nevertheless much more often true, reasonable, and just, than we imagine.
