Napoleon Bonaparte
History paints the human heart.
Napoleon Bonaparte
When I was happy I thought I knew men, but it was fated that I should know them in misfortune only.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Our credulity is a part of the imperfection of our natures. It is inherent in us to desire to generalize, when we ought, on the contrary, to guard ourselves very carefully from this tendency.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Lack is more in means, than in principles.
Napoleon Bonaparte
