More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
It must be recognized that the real truths of history are hard to discover. Happily, for the most part, they are rather matters of curiosity than of real importance.
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
All the great captains have performed vast achievements by conforming with the rules of art--by adjusting efforts to obstacles.
Napoleon Bonaparte
My true glory is not to have won 40 battles ... Waterloo will erase the memory of so many victories, ... But ... what will live forever, is my Civil Code.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Promptly improve your accidents.
Napoleon Bonaparte
When your enemy is doing something wrong, do not interrupt him.
Napoleon Bonaparte
All great events hang by a single thread. The clever man takes advantage of everything, neglects nothing that may give him some added opportunity the less clever man, by neglecting one thing, sometimes misses everything.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In tragedy great men are more truly great than in history. We see them only in the crises which unfold them.
Napoleon Bonaparte
There are so many laws that no one is safe from hanging.
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
Much shedding of blood, many great actions, and triumphs, toil and perseverance are the end of all things human.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The unwilling soldier will do anything to fight for a useless fabric piece of ribbon.
Napoleon Bonaparte
There are only two forces in the world, the sword and the spirit. In the long run the sword will always be conquered by the spirit.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In war, the moral is to the physical as three is to one.
Napoleon Bonaparte
For my part, it is not the mystery of the incarnation which I discover in religion, but the mystery of social order, which associates with heaven that idea of equality which prevents the rich from destroying the poor
Napoleon Bonaparte
How can you have order in a state without religion? For, when one man is dying of hunger near another who is ill of surfeit, he cannot resign himself to this difference unless there is an authority which declares 'God wills it thus.' Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Since the discovery of printing, knowledge has been called to power, and power has been used to make knowledge a slave.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Passions change, politics are immutable.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Kiss the feet of Popes provided their hands are tied.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Our credulity is a part of the imperfection of our natures. It is inherent in us to desire to generalize, when we ought, on the contrary, to guard ourselves very carefully from this tendency.
