Who saves his country violates no law.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I cannot approve of your method of operation, you proceed like a bewildered idiot, taking not the least notice of my orders.
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
When you have an enemy in your power, deprive him of the means of ever injuring you.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Victory is not always winning the battle...but rising every time you fall.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Pure politics is merely the calculus of combinations and of chances.
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
Necessity dominates inclination, will, and right.
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
A celebrated people lose dignity upon a closer view.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I know men, and I tell you, Jesus is more than a man. Comparison is impossible between Him and any other human being who ever lived, because He was the Son of God.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I can no longer obey I have tasted command, and I cannot give it up.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Fools have a great advantage over the wise they are always self-satisfied.
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
You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In war, as in politics, no evil - even if it is permissible under the rules - is excusable unless it is absolutely necessary. Everything beyond that is a crime.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A nation recruits men more easily than it can retrieve its honour.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It should not be believed that a march of three or four days in the wrong direction can be corrected by a countermarch. As a rule, this is to make two mistakes instead of one.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I hope the time is not far off when I shall be able to unite all the wise and educated men of all the countries and establish a uniform regime based on the principles of the Quran which alone are true and which alone can lead men to happiness.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The only true conquests-those that awaken no regrets- are those obtained over our ignorance.
Napoleon Bonaparte
