Napoleon Bonaparte
I have doubtless erred more or less in politics, but a crime I never committed.
Napoleon Bonaparte
From the heights of these pyramids, forty centuries look down on us.

I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is not a man. Superficial minds see a resemblance between Christ and the founders of empires, and the gods of other religions. That resemblance does not exist. There is between Christianity and whatever other religions the distance of infinity.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Treason is a matter of dates.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Independence, like honor, is a rocky island, without a beach.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
Religions are all founded on miracles - on things we cannot understand, such as the Trinity. Jesus calls himself the Son of God, and yet is descended from David. I prefer the religion of Mahomet - it is less ridiculous than ours.
Napoleon Bonaparte
If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots.
Napoleon Bonaparte
