People take England on trust, and repeat that Shakespeare is the greatest of all authors. I have read him: there is nothing that compares Racine or Corneille: his plays are unreadable, pitiful.

More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
You become strong by defying defeat and by turning loss into gain and failure to success.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Be successful! I judge men only by the results of their actions.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A commander in chief ought to say to himself several times a day: If the enemy should appear on my front, on my right, on my left, what would I do? And if the question finds him uncertain, he is not well placed, he is not as he should be, and he should remedy it.
Napoleon Bonaparte
There are certain things in war of which the commander alone comprehends the importance. Nothing but his superior firmness and ability can subdue and surmount all difficulties.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The Bible is no mere book, but a Living Creature, with a power that conquers all that oppose it.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Providence is always on the side of the last reserve.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I marvel that whereas the ambitious dreams of my self, Caesar, and Alexander should have vanished into thin air, a Judean peasant-Jesus-s hould be able to stretch His hands across the centuries and control the destinies of men and nations.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Never interfere with an enemy in the process of destroying himself.
Napoleon Bonaparte
One must change one's tactics every ten years if one wishes to maintain one's superiority.
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
The bed has become a place of luxury to me! I would not exchange it for all the thrones in the world.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Die young, and I shall accept your death-but not if you have lived without glory, without being useful to your country, without leaving a trace of your existence: for that is not to have lived at all.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A great people may be killed, but they cannot be intimidated.
Napoleon Bonaparte
War is like government, a matter of tact.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I have doubtless erred more or less in politics, but a crime I never committed.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Orders and decorations are necessary in order to dazzle the people.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Human life is the only thing that takes care of itself.
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
A cowardly act! What do I care about that? You may be sure that I should never fear to commit one if it were to my advantage.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.
Napoleon Bonaparte
