More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
Patriotism is a word which represents a noble idea.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I have noticed in every campaign that I have fought-that there is a key segment of time, somewhere between 13 and 15 minutes in which the battle is won or lost. I focus on that segment of time, and I win.
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
When firmness is sufficient, rashness is unnecessary.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Who saves his country violates no law.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Artillery is more essential to cavalry than to infantry, because cavalry has no fire for its defence, but depends on the sabre.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The only one who is wiser than anyone is everyone.
Napoleon Bonaparte
When defending itself against another country, a nation never lacks men, but too often, soldiers.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Man, not men, is the most important consideration.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I wish I could take a raincheck on June 18.1815
Napoleon Bonaparte
Circumstances-what are circumstances? I make circumstances
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
We are made weak both by idleness and distrust of ourselves. Unfortunate, indeed, is he who suffers from both. If he is a mere individual he becomes nothing if he is a king he is lost.
Napoleon Bonaparte
History is a set of lies agreed upon.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemies.
Napoleon Bonaparte
There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time.
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 class of people so hard to manage in a state, as those whose intentions are honest, but whose consciences are bewitched.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I can no longer obey I have tasted command, and I cannot give it up.
Napoleon Bonaparte
