More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
Music, of all the liberal arts, has the greatest influence over the passions, and it is that to which the legislator ought to give the greatest encouragement.
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
Act swiftly and vigorously, without 'buts' and 'ifs'.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A man is not dependent upon his fellow creature, when he does not fear death.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Impossible is the word found only in a fool's dictionary. Wise people create opportunities for themselves and make everything possible.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A King should sacrifice the best affections of his heart for the good of his country no sacrifice should be above his determination.
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
Do you wish to find out the really sublime? Repeat the Lord's Prayer.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The conscience is the sacred haven of the liberty of man.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Destiny urges me to a goal of which I am ignorant. Until that goal is attained I am invulnerable, unassailable. When Destiny has accomplished her purpose in me, a fly may suffice to destroy me.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It is not set speeches at the moment of battle that render soldiers brave.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Ambition never is in a greater hurry that I it merely keeps pace with circumstances and with my general way of thinking.
Napoleon Bonaparte
All things proclaim the existence of God.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.
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.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The Emperor died forsaken by all, on this horrible rock. (St. Helena) His death struggle was awful!
Napoleon Bonaparte
When I had the honor to be a second lieutenant, I ate dry bread, but I never let anyone know that I was poor.
Napoleon Bonaparte
