More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
Love is the occupation of the idle man, the amusement of a busy one, and the shipwreck of a sovereign.
Napoleon Bonaparte
If you wage war, do it energetically and with severity. This is the only way to make it shorter and consequently less inhuman.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The keys of a fortress are always well worth the retirement of the garrison when it is resolved to yield only on those conditions. On this principle it is always wiser to grant an honorable capitulation to a garrison which has made a vigorous resistance than to risk an assault.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
An army's effectiveness depends on its size, training, experience, and morale, and morale is worth more than any of the other factors combined.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It is easy to know when a government wishes for peace by observing the character of the person sent to negotiate for it.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A good sketch is better than a long speech.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I shall be an Attila to Venice.
