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 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
In war, the moral is to the physical as three is to one.
