More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
One is more certain to influence men, to produce more effect on them, by absurdities than by sensible ideas.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Neglect of duty does not cease, by repetition, to be neglect of duty.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Man, not men, is the most important consideration.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Policemen and prisons ought never to be the means used to bring men back to the practice of religion.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Liberty is a need felt by a small class of people whom nature has endowed with nobler minds than the mass of men.... Consequently, it may be repressed with impunity. Equality, on the other hand, pleases the masses.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Courage cannot be counterfeited. It is one virtue that escapes hypocrisy.
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
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
For the stability of the Government, the people should have a considerable voice in the elections.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It is not necessary to prohibit or encourage oddities of conduct which are not harmful.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Morality has nothing to do with such a man as I am.
Napoleon Bonaparte
All great events hang by a single thread. The clever man takes advantage of everything, neglects nothing that may give him some added opportunity the less clever man, by neglecting one thing, sometimes misses everything.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Adversity is the midwife of genius
Napoleon Bonaparte
A well-composed song strikes the mind and softens the feelings, and produces a greater effect than a moral work, which convinces our reason, but does not warm our feelings, nor effect the slightest alteration in our habits
Napoleon Bonaparte
To write history one must be more than a man, since the author who holds the pen of this great justiciary must be free from all preoccupation of interest or vanity.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Those who failed to oppose me, who readily agreed with me, accepted all my views, and yielded easily to my opinions, were those who did me the most injury, and were my worst enemies, because, by surrendering to me so easily, they encouraged me to go too far... I was then too powerful for any man, except myself, to injure me.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Pure politics is merely the calculus of combinations and of chances.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In war, the moral is to the physical as three is to one.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A commander in chief ought to say to himself several times a day: If the enemy should appear on my front, on my right, on my left, what would I do? And if the question finds him uncertain, he is not well placed, he is not as he should be, and he should remedy it.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Rascality has limits stupidity has not.
