More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
All the women in the world would not make me lose an hour.
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
War is like government, a matter of tact.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The keys of a fortress are always well worth the retirement of the garrison when it is resolved to yield only on those conditions. On this principle it is always wiser to grant an honorable capitulation to a garrison which has made a vigorous resistance than to risk an assault.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Nothing is more arrogant than the weakness which feels itself supported by power.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The best medicine against the grapes of wrath is a whiff of grapeshot
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
Courage cannot be counterfeited. It is one virtue that escapes hypocrisy.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Lead the ideas of your time and they will accompany and support you fall behind them and they drag you along with them oppose them and they will overwhelm you.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
Give me an educated mother, I shall promise you the birth of a civilized, educated nation
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
Posterity alone rightly judges kings. Posterity alone has the right to accord or withhold honors.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Ability has nothing to do with opportunity.
Napoleon Bonaparte
You would make a ship sail against the winds and currents by lighting a bonfire under her decks? I have no time for such nonsense.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I may lose a battle but I will never lose a minute.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Since the discovery of printing, knowledge has been called to power, and power has been used to make knowledge a slave.
Napoleon Bonaparte
France is invaded I am leaving to take command of my troops, and, with God's help and their valor, I hope soon to drive the enemy beyond the frontier.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Lack is more in means, than in principles.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Revolutions are good times for soldiers of talent and courage.
Napoleon Bonaparte
