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
Treason is a matter of dates.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A Constitution should be short and obscure.
