More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
The public spirit is in the hands of the man who knows how to make use of it.
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
I have made all the calculations fate will do the rest.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The reason I beat the Austrians is, they did not known the value of five minutes
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
A great people may be killed, but they cannot be intimidated.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Do not talk to me of goodness, of abstract justice, of nature law. Necessity is the highest law, public welfare is the highest justice.
Napoleon Bonaparte
At the head of an army, nothing is more becoming than simplicity.
Napoleon Bonaparte
You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
If the art of war were nothing but the art of avoiding risks, glory would become the prey of mediocre minds.... I have made all the calculations fate will do the rest.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Great battles are won with artillery.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A society without religion is like a vessel without compass.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I believe love to be hurtful to society, and to the individual happiness of men. I believe, in short, that love does more harm than good.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A man made for public life and authority never takes account of personalities he only takes account of things, of their weight and their conseqences.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Medicines are only fit for old people.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Public opinion is a mysterious and invisible power, to which everything must yield. There is nothing more fickle, more vague, or more powerful yet capricious as it is, it is nevertheless much more often true, reasonable, and just, than we imagine.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Nothing makes the future look so rosy as to contemplate it through a glass of Chambertin.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Every man who is worth thirty millions and is not wedded to them, is dangerous to the government.
Napoleon Bonaparte
