More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
Incidents should not govern policy but, policy incidents.

Napoleon Bonaparte
Nothing is more destructive than the charge of artillery on a crowd.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Called to the throne by the voice of the people, my maxim has always been: A career open to talent without distinction of birth. It is this system of equality for which the European oligarchy detests me
Napoleon Bonaparte
A nation recruits men more easily than it can retrieve its honour.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
Being in the Tuileries is not everything: what matters is to stay here.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
We should wash our dirty linen at home.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Variety made the Revolution. Liberty was just a pretext.
Napoleon Bonaparte
There is only one thing in this world, and that is to keep acquiring money and more money, power and more power. All the rest is meaningless.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Public opinion is a mysterious and invisible power, to which everything must yield. There is nothing more fickle, more vague, or more powerful yet capricious as it is, it is nevertheless much more often true, reasonable, and just, than we imagine.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
Napoleon Bonaparte
