More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
The Turks can be killed, but they can never be conquered.
Napoleon Bonaparte
There are in Europe many good generals, but they see too many things at once. I see one thing, namely the enemy's main body. I try to crush it, confident that secondary matters will then settle themselves.
Napoleon Bonaparte
There is no such thing as an accident, only a failure to recognise the hand of fate
Napoleon Bonaparte
Providence is always on the side of the last reserve.
Napoleon Bonaparte
When people cease to complain, they cease to think.
Napoleon Bonaparte
