More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
Skepticism is a virtue in history as well as in philosophy.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The heart of a statesman should be in his head.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Show me a family of readers, and I will show you the people who move the world.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The conscience is the sacred haven of the liberty of man.
Napoleon Bonaparte
They are the carrion birds of humanity...[speaking of the Jews] are a state within a state. They are certainly not real citizens...The evils of Jews do not stem from individuals but from the fundamental nature of these people.
Napoleon Bonaparte
My decision to destroy the authority of the blacks in Saint Domingue (Haiti) is not so much based on considerations of commerce and money, as on the need to block for ever the march of the blacks in the world.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The art of government is not to let me grow stale.
Napoleon Bonaparte
