More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
After making a mistake or suffering a misfortune, the man of genius always gets back on his feet.
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
Never interfere with an enemy in the process of destroying himself.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It's the people who are in the wrong who get angry.
Napoleon Bonaparte
If it had not been for the English I should have been emperor of the East, but wherever there is water to float a ship we are sure to find them in our way.
Napoleon Bonaparte
International incidents must not be allowed to shape foreign policy, foreign policy must shape the incidents.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The heart may be broken, and the soul remain unshaken.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
Do you know what is more hard to bear than the reverses of fortune? It is the baseness, the hideous ingratitude, of man.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
I cannot approve of your method of operation, you proceed like a bewildered idiot, taking not the least notice of my orders.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Battles are lost or won in 15 minutes
Napoleon Bonaparte
In war, as in politics, no evil - even if it is permissible under the rules - is excusable unless it is absolutely necessary. Everything beyond that is a crime.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I do not amuse myself by thinking of dead people.
Napoleon Bonaparte
People take England on trust, and repeat that Shakespeare is the greatest of all authors. I have read him: there is nothing that compares Racine or Corneille: his plays are unreadable, pitiful.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The art of government is not to let me grow stale.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Secrets travel fast in Paris.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The secret of great battles consists in knowing how to deploy and concentrate at the right time.
Napoleon Bonaparte
