Napoleon Bonaparte
I would believe any religion that could prove it had existed since the beginning of the world. But when I see Socrates, Plato, Moses, and Mohammed I do not think there is such a one. All religions owe their origin to man.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Time is the great art of man.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The only true conquests-those that awaken no regrets- are those obtained over our ignorance.
