Napoleon Bonaparte
War is a serious game in which a man risks his reputation, his troops, and his country. A sensible man will search himself to know whether or not he is fitted for the trade.
Napoleon Bonaparte
There are in Europe many good generals, but they see too many things at once. I see one thing, namely the enemy's main body. I try to crush it, confident that secondary matters will then settle themselves.
Napoleon Bonaparte
To make yourself understood to people, one must first speak to their eyes
Napoleon Bonaparte
One must change one's tactics every ten years if one wishes to maintain one's superiority.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The heart of a statesman should be in his head.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A man is known by his conduct to his wife, to his family, and to those under him.
