More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
Called to the throne by the voice of the people, my maxim has always been: A career open to talent without distinction of birth. It is this system of equality for which the European oligarchy detests me
Napoleon Bonaparte
The bayonet has always been the weapon of the brave and the chief tool of victory
Napoleon Bonaparte
I marvel that whereas the ambitious dreams of my self, Caesar, and Alexander should have vanished into thin air, a Judean peasant-Jesus-s hould be able to stretch His hands across the centuries and control the destinies of men and nations.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Peoples of Egypt , you will be told that I have come to destroy your religion. Do not believe it! Reply that I have come to restore your rights!
Napoleon Bonaparte
The nature of Christ's existence is mysterious, I admit but this mystery meets the wants of man. Reject it, and the world is an inexplicable riddle believe it, and the history of our race is satisfactorily explained.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A commander in chief ought to say to himself several times a day: If the enemy should appear on my front, on my right, on my left, what would I do? And if the question finds him uncertain, he is not well placed, he is not as he should be, and he should remedy it.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Who saves his country violates no law.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded his empire upon love and at this hour millions of men would die for him.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Our credulity is a part of the imperfection of our natures. It is inherent in us to desire to generalize, when we ought, on the contrary, to guard ourselves very carefully from this tendency.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The division of labor, which has brought such perfection in mechanical industries, is altogether fatal when applied to productions of the mind. All work of the mind is superior in proportion as the mind that produces it is universal.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The torment of precautions often exceeds the dangers to be avoided. It is sometimes better to abandon one's self to destiny.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Democracy may become frenzied, but it has feelings and can be moved. As for aristocracy, it is always cold and never forgives.
Napoleon Bonaparte
How many really capable men are children more than once during the day!
Napoleon Bonaparte
I do not believe it is in our nature to love impartially. We deceive ourselves when we think we can love two beings, even our own children, equally. There is always a dominant affection.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I have doubtless erred more or less in politics, but a crime I never committed.
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
For my part, it is not the mystery of the incarnation which I discover in religion, but the mystery of social order, which associates with heaven that idea of equality which prevents the rich from destroying the poor
Napoleon Bonaparte
Religions are all founded on miracles - on things we cannot understand, such as the Trinity. Jesus calls himself the Son of God, and yet is descended from David. I prefer the religion of Mahomet - it is less ridiculous than ours.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Order marches with weighty and measured strides. Disorder is always in a hurry.
Napoleon Bonaparte
History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.
