I can no longer obey I have tasted command, and I cannot give it up.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I have seen only yoU, I have admired only yoU, I desire only You
Napoleon Bonaparte
What I have done up to this is nothing. I am only at the beginning of the course I must run. Do you imagine that I triumph in Italy in order to aggrandise the pack of lawyers who form the Directory, and men like Carnot and Barras? What an idea!
Napoleon Bonaparte

I was then too powerful for any man, except myself, to injure me.
Napoleon Bonaparte

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
Public opinion is the thermometer a monarch should constantly consult.
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
Kiss the feet of Popes provided their hands are tied.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Passions change, politics are immutable.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The best way to make every one poor is to insist on equality of wealth.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It is exceptional and difficult to find in one man all the qualities necessary for a great general.
