More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
A society without religion is like a vessel without compass.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Treason is a matter of dates.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Public opinion is a mysterious and invisible power, to which everything must yield. There is nothing more fickle, more vague, or more powerful yet capricious as it is, it is nevertheless much more often true, reasonable, and just, than we imagine.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Policemen and prisons ought never to be the means used to bring men back to the practice of religion.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Against attempts on my life, I trust in my luck, my good genius, and my guards.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Who saves his country violates no law.
Napoleon Bonaparte
To write history one must be more than a man, since the author who holds the pen of this great justiciary must be free from all preoccupation of interest or vanity.
Napoleon Bonaparte
If it had not been for the English I should have been emperor of the East, but wherever there is water to float a ship we are sure to find them in our way.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Medicines are only fit for old people.

Religions are all founded on miracles - on things we cannot understand, such as the Trinity. Jesus calls himself the Son of God, and yet is descended from David. I prefer the religion of Mahomet - it is less ridiculous than ours.
Napoleon Bonaparte
My success and everything good that I have done, I owe to my mother.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A celebrated people lose dignity upon a closer view.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Friendship is but a name. I love no one.
Napoleon Bonaparte
You cannot drag a man's conscience before any tribunal, and no one is answerable for his religious opinions to any power on earth.
Napoleon Bonaparte
This year has begun hopefully for right thinkers. After all these centuries of feudal barbarism and political slavery, it is surprising to see how the word of 'liberty' sets minds on fire.
Napoleon Bonaparte
If I always appear prepared, it is because before entering an undertaking, I have meditated long and have foreseen what might occur. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly and secretly what I should do in circumstances unexpected by others it is thought and preparation
Napoleon Bonaparte
Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded his empire upon love and at this hour millions of men would die for him.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Until you spread your wings, you'll have no idea how far you can fly.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The merit of Mahomet is that he founded a religion without an inferno.
Napoleon Bonaparte
History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.
