More quotes by 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
Malice delights to blacken the characters of prominent men.
Napoleon Bonaparte
War is a lottery in which nations ought to risk nothing but small amounts.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Strategy is the art of making use of time and space. I am less concerned about the later than the former. Space we can recover, lost time never.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In war, moral factors acount for three quarters of the whole relative material strength accounts for only one quarter.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Tragedy warms the soul, elevates the heart, can and ought to create heroes. In this sense, perhaps, France owes a part of her great actions to Corneille.
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

Napoleon Bonaparte
War is like government, a matter of tact.
Napoleon Bonaparte
When I was happy I thought I knew men, but it was fated that I should know them in misfortune only.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The leader's role is to define reality, then give hope
Napoleon Bonaparte
How can you have order in a state without religion? For, when one man is dying of hunger near another who is ill of surfeit, he cannot resign himself to this difference unless there is an authority which declares 'God wills it thus.' Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.
Napoleon Bonaparte
When people cease to complain, they cease to think.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The man fitted for affairs and authority never considers individuals, but things and their consequences.
Napoleon Bonaparte
