More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
My true glory is not to have won 40 battles ... Waterloo will erase the memory of so many victories, ... But ... what will live forever, is my Civil Code.
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
The English have no exaulted sentiments. They can all be bought.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I haven't known 6 days of happiness in my life.
