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

Napoleon Bonaparte
It is often in the audacity, in the steadfastness, of the general that the safety and the conservation of his men is found.
Napoleon Bonaparte

We are either kings or pawns of men
Napoleon Bonaparte
Love is the occupation of the idle man, the amusement of a busy one, and the shipwreck of a sovereign.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Opportunities? I make opportunities.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights. Men are moved by only two mechanisms: fear and self-interest. Victory belongs to the most persevering.
Napoleon Bonaparte
