More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
Passions change, politics are immutable.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It is the success which makes great men.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Do you know what astonished me the most in this world? The inability of force to create anything.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Imagination rules the world.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The Turks can be killed, but they can never be conquered.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Men soon get tired of shedding their blood for the advantage of a few individuals, who think they amply reward the soldiers perils with the treasures they amass.
Napoleon Bonaparte
To command, you must first of all speak to the eyes.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Alexander, Charlemagne and myself all tried to found an empire on force and we failed. Jesus Christ is building an empire on love, and today there are millions of people who would gladly die for His sake.
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
A faithful friend is the true image of the Deity.
Napoleon Bonaparte
When you determine to risk a battle, reserve to yourself every possible chance of success, more particularly if you have to deal with an adversary of superior talent, for if you are beaten, even in the midst of your magazines and your communications, woe to the vanquished!
Napoleon Bonaparte
There is only one thing in this world, and that is to keep acquiring money and more money, power and more power. All the rest is meaningless.
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
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
When I was happy I thought I knew men, but it was fated that I should know them in misfortune only.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Life is strewn with so many dangers, and can be the source of so many misfortunes, that death is not the greatest of them.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Skepticism is a virtue in history as well as in philosophy.
Napoleon Bonaparte
What my enemies call a general peace is my destruction. What I call peace is merely the disarmament of my enemies. Am I not more moderate than they?
Napoleon Bonaparte
Prussia was hatched from a cannon-ball.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The army is the true nobility of our country.
