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.

More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
Charges of cavalry are equally useful at the beginning, the middle and the end of a battle. They should be made always, if possible, on the flanks of the infantry, especially when the latter is engaged in front.
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
Man is entitled by birthright to a share of the earth's produce sufficient to fill the needs of his existence.
Napoleon Bonaparte
He, who practices right, but in the hope of acquiring great renown, is very near to vice.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The affairs of war, like the destiny of battles, as well as empires, hang upon a spiders thread.
Napoleon Bonaparte
There is no such thing as an accident, only a failure to recognise the hand of fate
Napoleon Bonaparte
It's the people who are in the wrong who get angry.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A commander in chief ought to say to himself several times a day: If the enemy should appear on my front, on my right, on my left, what would I do? And if the question finds him uncertain, he is not well placed, he is not as he should be, and he should remedy it.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Nothing is lost as long as courage remains
Napoleon Bonaparte
We must serve the people worthily, and not occupy ourselves in trying to please them. The best way, to gain their affections is to do them good.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The most difficult art is not in the choice of men, but in giving to the men chosen the highest service of which they are capable.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Ability has nothing to do with opportunity.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Nature intended women to be our slaves. They are our property.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Soldiers! Here is the battle you have so long desired! Henceforth victory depends on you we have need of it.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Give me an educated mother, I shall promise you the birth of a civilized, educated nation
Napoleon Bonaparte
I am the successor, not of Louis XVI, but of Charlemagne.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The future destiny of a child is always the work of the mother
Napoleon Bonaparte
History paints the human heart.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A fool is only troublesome, a pedant insupportable.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The Bible is no mere book, but a Living Creature, with a power that conquers all that oppose it.
