More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
At the head of an army, nothing is more becoming than simplicity.
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
Love is the occupation of the idle man, the amusement of a busy one, and the shipwreck of a sovereign.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Large legislative bodies resolve themselves into coteries, and coteries into jealousies.
Napoleon Bonaparte
