The future destiny of a child is always the work of the mother
Napoleon Bonaparte
It is necessary for the heart to feel as for the body to be fed.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Do you wish to find out the really sublime? Repeat the Lord's Prayer.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Ability has nothing to do with opportunity.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Liberty is a need felt by a small class of people whom nature has endowed with nobler minds than the mass of men.... Consequently, it may be repressed with impunity. Equality, on the other hand, pleases the masses.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The torment of precautions often exceeds the dangers to be avoided. It is sometimes better to abandon one's self to destiny.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Few really believe. The most only believe that they believe or even make believe.
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
A good sketch is better than a long speech.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
How can you have order in a state without religion? For, when one man is dying of hunger near another who is ill of surfeit, he cannot resign himself to this difference unless there is an authority which declares 'God wills it thus.' Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In war, the moral element and public opinion are half the battle.
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

Napoleon Bonaparte
When small men attempt great enterprises, they always end by reducing them to the level of their mediocrity.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools.
Napoleon Bonaparte
If fifty thousand men were to die for the good of the State, I certainly would weep for them, but political necessity comes before everything else.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Fools have a great advantage over the wise they are always self-satisfied.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It's the people who are in the wrong who get angry.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Power is founded upon opinion.
Napoleon Bonaparte
