More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
A well-composed song strikes the mind and softens the feelings, and produces a greater effect than a moral work, which convinces our reason, but does not warm our feelings, nor effect the slightest alteration in our habits
Napoleon Bonaparte
A great Nation should have a fixed Government, so that the death of one man should not overturn it.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Do you wish to find out the really sublime? Repeat the Lord's Prayer.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
If it had not been for the English I should have been emperor of the East, but wherever there is water to float a ship we are sure to find them in our way.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Hereditary succession to the magistracy is absurd, as it tends to make a property of it it is incompatible with the sovereignty of the people.
Napoleon Bonaparte
You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The worse the man, the better the soldier.
Napoleon Bonaparte
