More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
I have come to realise that men are not born to be free.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
A woman laughing is a woman conquered.

Napoleon Bonaparte
What a beautiful fix we are in now peace has been declared.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is not a man. Superficial minds see a resemblance between Christ and the founders of empires, and the gods of other religions. That resemblance does not exist. There is between Christianity and whatever other religions the distance of infinity.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Cavalry is useful before, during, and after the battle.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Those who are free from common prejudices acquire others.
Napoleon Bonaparte
All systems of morality are fine. The gospel alone has exhibited a complete assemblage of the principles of morality, divested of all absurdity. It is not composed, like your creed, of a few common-place sentences put into bad verse. Do you wish to see that which is really sublime? Repeat the Lord's Prayer.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Ability is noting without opportunity.
Napoleon Bonaparte
France always has plenty men of talent, but it is always deficient in men of action and high character.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Doctors will have more lives to answer for in the next world than even we generals.
Napoleon Bonaparte
More glorious to merit a sceptre than to possess one.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Men of genius are meteors destined to burn themselves out in lighting up their age.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I have made noise enough in the world already, perhaps too much, and am now getting old, and want retirement.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I have noticed in every campaign that I have fought-that there is a key segment of time, somewhere between 13 and 15 minutes in which the battle is won or lost. I focus on that segment of time, and I win.
Napoleon Bonaparte
There is a joy in danger.
Napoleon Bonaparte
