Napoleon Bonaparte
Rashness succeeds often, still more often fails.
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
The Emperor died forsaken by all, on this horrible rock. (St. Helena) His death struggle was awful!
Napoleon Bonaparte
War is not at all such a difficult art as people think. . . . In reality it would seem that he is vanquished who is afraid of his adversary and the the whole secret lies in that.
Napoleon Bonaparte
