More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
My waking thoughts are all of thee. Your portrait and the remembrance of last night's delirium have robbed my senses of repose. Sweet and incomparable Josephine, what an extraordinary influence you have over my heart. Are you vexed? Do I see you sad? Are you ill at ease? My soul is broken with grief, and there is no rest for your lover.
Napoleon Bonaparte
One is more certain to influence men, to produce more effect on them, by absurdities than by sensible ideas.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Religions are all founded on miracles - on things we cannot understand, such as the Trinity. Jesus calls himself the Son of God, and yet is descended from David. I prefer the religion of Mahomet - it is less ridiculous than ours.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I have noticed in every campaign that I have fought-that there is a key segment of time, somewhere between 13 and 15 minutes in which the battle is won or lost. I focus on that segment of time, and I win.
Napoleon Bonaparte
When firmness is sufficient, rashness is unnecessary.
Napoleon Bonaparte
There is no place in a fanatic's head where reason can enter.
Napoleon Bonaparte
God! How men of letters are stupid.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Prussia was hatched from a cannon-ball.
Napoleon Bonaparte
One bad general is worth two good ones.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Die young, and I shall accept your death-but not if you have lived without glory, without being useful to your country, without leaving a trace of your existence: for that is not to have lived at all.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Half of the people in the world are below average.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Revolutions are good times for soldiers of talent and courage.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A fool is only troublesome, a pedant insupportable.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I have doubtless erred more or less in politics, but a crime I never committed.
Napoleon Bonaparte
We are either kings or pawns of men
Napoleon Bonaparte
Circumstances-what are circumstances? I make circumstances
Napoleon Bonaparte
Washington is dead! This great man fought against Tyranny he established the liberty of his country. His memory will always be dear to the French people, as it will be to all free men of the two worlds and especially to French soldiers, who, like him and the American soldiers, have combated for liberty and equality.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Riches do not consist in the possession of treasures, but in the use made of them.
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
A cowardly act! What do I care about that? You may be sure that I should never fear to commit one if it were to my advantage.
Napoleon Bonaparte
