Napoleon Bonaparte
My decision to destroy the authority of the blacks in Saint Domingue (Haiti) is not so much based on considerations of commerce and money, as on the need to block for ever the march of the blacks in the world.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Rashness succeeds often, still more often fails.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Military despotism represses generous sentiments, priestly tyranny stifles them.
Napoleon Bonaparte
