More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
Cavalry is useful before, during, and after the battle.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Impossible is the word found only in a fool's dictionary. Wise people create opportunities for themselves and make everything possible.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Nothing is more destructive than the charge of artillery on a crowd.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Love is the occupation of the idle man, the amusement of a busy one, and the shipwreck of a sovereign.
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
All systems of morality are fine. The gospel alone has exhibited a complete assemblage of the principles of morality, divested of all absurdity. It is not composed, like your creed, of a few common-place sentences put into bad verse. Do you wish to see that which is really sublime? Repeat the Lord's Prayer.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Ability is nothing without opportunity.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The fate of war is to be exalted in the morning, and low enough at night! There is but one step from triumph to ruin.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The merit of Mahomet is that he founded a religion without an inferno.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A great reputation is a great noise, the more there is of it, and the further does it swell. Land, monuments, Nations, all fall, but the noise remains, and will reach to other generations.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I fear three newspapers more than a hundred thousand bayonets.
Napoleon Bonaparte
If you know a country's geography, you can understand and predict its foreign policy.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The sentiment of national honor is never more than half extinguished in the French. It takes only a spark to re-kindle it.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Kiss the feet of Popes provided their hands are tied.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The implements to him who can handle them.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Peoples of Egypt , you will be told that I have come to destroy your religion. Do not believe it! Reply that I have come to restore your rights!
Napoleon Bonaparte
One is more certain to influence men, to produce more effect on them, by absurdities than by sensible ideas.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The best generals are those who have served in the artillery.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It is a mistake, too, to say that the face is the mirror of the soul. The truth is, men are very hard to know, and yet, not to be deceived, we must judge them by their present actions, but for the present only.
Napoleon Bonaparte
There is no such thing as an accident, only a failure to recognise the hand of fate
Napoleon Bonaparte
