Age, habits of business and experience have modified many characters.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Image
The barbarous custom of having men beaten who are suspected of having important secrets to reveal must be abolished. It has always been recognized that this way of interrogating men, by putting them to torture, produces nothing worthwhile.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Image
Time is the great art of man.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Image
For the stability of the Government, the people should have a considerable voice in the elections.
Napoleon Bonaparte
