Napoleon Bonaparte
There is only one step from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A great people may be killed, but they cannot be intimidated.
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 in Europe many good generals, but they see too many things at once. I see one thing, namely the enemy's main body. I try to crush it, confident that secondary matters will then settle themselves.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The Jews are the master robbers of the modern age.
