More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
In war, as in prostitution, amateurs are often better than professionals.
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
There is only one step from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Who saves his country violates no law.
Napoleon Bonaparte
When I was happy I thought I knew men, but it was fated that I should know them in misfortune only.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Give me an educated mother, I shall promise you the birth of a civilized, educated nation
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
Liberty and equality are magical words.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Act swiftly and vigorously, without 'buts' and 'ifs'.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Read over and over again the campaigns of Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, Gustavus, Turenne, Eugene and Frederic. ... This is the only way to become a great general and master the secrets of the art of war.
Napoleon Bonaparte
True character stands the test of emergencies. Do not be mistaken, it is weakness from which the awakening is rude.
Napoleon Bonaparte
After me, the Revolution - or, rather the ideas which formed it - will resume their course. It will be like a book from which the marker is removed, and one starts to read again at the page where one left off.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemies.
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
Half of the people in the world are below average.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Men take only their needs into consideration - never their abilities.
