More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
I would believe any religion that could prove it had existed since the beginning of the world. But when I see Socrates, Plato, Moses, and Mohammed I do not think there is such a one. All religions owe their origin to man.
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
It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Charges of cavalry are equally useful at the beginning, the middle and the end of a battle. They should be made always, if possible, on the flanks of the infantry, especially when the latter is engaged in front.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Machiavelli is right: one always must live with one's friends with the idea that they may turn into one's enemies. He should have said, with everyone.
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
I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is not a man. Superficial minds see a resemblance between Christ and the founders of empires, and the gods of other religions. That resemblance does not exist. There is between Christianity and whatever other religions the distance of infinity.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The mind of a general ought to resemble and be as clear as the field-glass of a telescope.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Do you know what is more hard to bear than the reverses of fortune? It is the baseness, the hideous ingratitude, of man.
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
More glorious to merit a sceptre than to possess one.
Napoleon Bonaparte
To imagine that it is possible to perform great military deeds without fighting is just empty dreams.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In war, as in politics, no evil - even if it is permissible under the rules - is excusable unless it is absolutely necessary. Everything beyond that is a crime.
Napoleon Bonaparte
If you (to General Bertrand) do not perceive that Jesus Christ is God, very well then I did wrong to make you a general.
Napoleon Bonaparte
There is no Nation however small which had the right to set itself free, that has not rescued itself from the dishonour of obeying the Prince imposed by an enemy in the hour of victory.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Prison, blood, death, create enthusiasts and martyrs, and bring forth courage and desperate resolution.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Man is entitled by birthright to a share of the earth's produce sufficient to fill the needs of his existence.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In war, the moral is to the physical as three is to one.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Rascality has limits stupidity has not.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A form of government that is not the result of a long sequence of shared experiences, efforts, and endeavors can never take root.
Napoleon Bonaparte
