More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
Against attempts on my life, I trust in my luck, my good genius, and my guards.
Napoleon Bonaparte
What is history but a fable agreed upon?
Napoleon Bonaparte
There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Those who failed to oppose me, who readily agreed with me, accepted all my views, and yielded easily to my opinions, were those who did me the most injury, and were my worst enemies, because, by surrendering to me so easily, they encouraged me to go too far... I was then too powerful for any man, except myself, to injure me.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Skepticism is a virtue in history as well as in philosophy.
Napoleon Bonaparte
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
Even when I am gone, I shall remain in people's minds the star of their rights, my name will be the war cry of their efforts, the motto of their hopes.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It is a mistake, too, to say that the face is the mirror of the soul. The truth is, men are very hard to know, and yet, not to be deceived, we must judge them by their present actions, but for the present only.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A faithful friend is the true image of the Deity.
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
France always has plenty men of talent, but it is always deficient in men of action and high character.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The purely defensive is doomed to defeat.
Napoleon Bonaparte
England would be better off without Canada it keeps her in a prepared state for war at a great expense and constant irritation.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I have doubtless erred more or less in politics, but a crime I never committed.
Napoleon Bonaparte
God! How men of letters are stupid.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Wisdom and policy dictate that we must do as destiny demands and keep peace with the irresistible march of events.
Napoleon Bonaparte
To make yourself understood to people, one must first speak to their eyes
Napoleon Bonaparte
I would believe any religion that could prove it had existed since the beginning of the world. But when I see Socrates, Plato, Moses, and Mohammed I do not think there is such a one. All religions owe their origin to man.
Napoleon Bonaparte
If you know a country's geography, you can understand and predict its foreign policy.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The purpose of religion is to keep the poor from killing the rich.
Napoleon Bonaparte
