More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
I have made all the calculations fate will do the rest.
Napoleon Bonaparte
There are in Europe many good generals, but they see too many things at once. I see one thing, namely the enemy's main body. I try to crush it, confident that secondary matters will then settle themselves.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
Do you know what is more hard to bear than the reverses of fortune? It is the baseness, the hideous ingratitude, of man.
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
I treat policies like war. I hoodwink one flank so as to trounce the other. In my family we kneel only to God.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The merit of Mahomet is that he founded a religion without an inferno.
Napoleon Bonaparte
If fifty thousand men were to die for the good of the State, I certainly would weep for them, but political necessity comes before everything else.
Napoleon Bonaparte
