More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
What I have done up to this is nothing. I am only at the beginning of the course I must run. Do you imagine that I triumph in Italy in order to aggrandise the pack of lawyers who form the Directory, and men like Carnot and Barras? What an idea!
Napoleon Bonaparte
From the heights of these pyramids, forty centuries look down on us.
Napoleon Bonaparte
If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I make my battle plans from the spirit of my sleeping soldiers
Napoleon Bonaparte
Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools.
Napoleon Bonaparte
How can you have order in a state without religion? For, when one man is dying of hunger near another who is ill of surfeit, he cannot resign himself to this difference unless there is an authority which declares 'God wills it thus.' Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Women are nothing but machines for producing children.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In war, as in politics, no evil - even if it is permissible under the rules - is excusable unless it is absolutely necessary. Everything beyond that is a crime.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Life is strewn with so many dangers, and can be the source of so many misfortunes, that death is not the greatest of them.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Morality has nothing to do with such a man as I am.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In a great nation, the majority are incapable of judging wisely of things.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Every man who is worth thirty millions and is not wedded to them, is dangerous to the government.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Policemen and prisons ought never to be the means used to bring men back to the practice of religion.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Clearly, the pleasures wines afford are transitory - but so are those of the ballet, or of a musical performance. Wine is inspiring and adds greatly to the joy of living.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The fate of a battle is the result of a moment, of a thought: the hostile forces advance with various combinations, they attack each other and fight for a certain time the critical moment arrives, a mental flash decides, and the least reserve accomplishes the object.
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
We live and die in the midst of marvels.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A constitution should be framed so as not to impede the action of government, nor force the government to its violation.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Military despotism represses generous sentiments, priestly tyranny stifles them.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I have never loved anyone for love's sake except, perhaps, Josephine - a little.
Napoleon Bonaparte
