More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
Imagination governs the world.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
When Monarchs abuse the rights with which they have been invested by the confidence of the people, and bring down upon their heads the calamity of war, the people have the right to withdraw their allegiance.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Do you know what astonished me the most in this world? The inability of force to create anything.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Military despotism represses generous sentiments, priestly tyranny stifles them.
Napoleon Bonaparte
We must laugh at man to avoid crying for him.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Among those who dislike oppression are many who like to oppress.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The bayonet has always been the weapon of the brave and the chief tool of victory
