Napoleon Bonaparte
Ability is noting without opportunity.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
This year has begun hopefully for right thinkers. After all these centuries of feudal barbarism and political slavery, it is surprising to see how the word of 'liberty' sets minds on fire.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The true wealth of a state consists in the number of its inhabitants, in their toil and industry.
