More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
The strong man is the one who is able to intercept at will the communication between the senses and the mind.
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
An aristocracy is the true support of a monarchy.
Napoleon Bonaparte
One bad general is worth two good ones.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I am surrounded by priests who repeat incessantly that their kingdom is not of this world, and yet they lay their hands on everything they can get.
Napoleon Bonaparte
If I always appear prepared, it is because before entering an undertaking, I have meditated long and have foreseen what might occur. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly and secretly what I should do in circumstances unexpected by others it is thought and preparation
Napoleon Bonaparte
It is necessary for the heart to feel as for the body to be fed.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The bed has become a place of luxury to me! I would not exchange it for all the thrones in the world.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Revolutions are like the most noxious dungheaps, which bring into life the noblest vegetables.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In war, as in prostitution, amateurs are often better than professionals.
Napoleon Bonaparte
You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I shall be an Attila to Venice.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The most difficult art is not in the choice of men, but in giving to the men chosen the highest service of which they are capable.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The basic principle that we must follow in directing the armies of the Republic is this: that they must feed themselves on war at the expense of the enemy territory.
Napoleon Bonaparte
All the scholastic scaffolding falls, as a ruined edifice, before a single word: faith.
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
I wish I could take a raincheck on June 18.1815
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
Morality for the upper classes, the gallows for the rabbles.
Napoleon Bonaparte
There are in Europe many good generals, but they see too many things at once. I see one thing, namely the enemy's main body. I try to crush it, confident that secondary matters will then settle themselves.
Napoleon Bonaparte
