Napoleon Bonaparte
I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is not a man. Superficial minds see a resemblance between Christ and the founders of empires, and the gods of other religions. That resemblance does not exist. There is between Christianity and whatever other religions the distance of infinity.
Napoleon Bonaparte
When soldiers have been baptized in the fire of a battle-field, they have all one rank in my eyes.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Against attempts on my life, I trust in my luck, my good genius, and my guards.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The public spirit is in the hands of the man who knows how to make use of it.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.
