It is with artillery that war is made.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
The Jews are the master robbers of the modern age.

Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
You can do anything with bayonets except sit on them
Napoleon Bonaparte
Good infantry is without doubt the sinews of an army but if it has to fight a long time against very superior artillery, it will become demoralized and will be destroyed.
Napoleon Bonaparte
When people cease to complain, they cease to think.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights. Men are moved by only two mechanisms: fear and self-interest. Victory belongs to the most persevering.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I have never loved anyone for love's sake except, perhaps, Josephine - a little.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The basic principle that we must follow in directing the armies of the Republic is this: that they must feed themselves on war at the expense of the enemy territory.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Imagination governs the world.
