Napoleon Bonaparte
Do you wish to find out the really sublime? Repeat the Lord's Prayer.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Democracy may become frenzied, but it has feelings and can be moved. As for aristocracy, it is always cold and never forgives.
Napoleon Bonaparte
There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time.
Napoleon Bonaparte
