Napoleon Bonaparte
France always has plenty men of talent, but it is always deficient in men of action and high character.

Napoleon Bonaparte
War is like government, a matter of tact.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A constitution should be framed so as not to impede the action of government, nor force the government to its violation.
Napoleon Bonaparte
What is history but a fable agreed upon?
Napoleon Bonaparte
War is a lottery in which nations ought to risk nothing but small amounts.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I have made all the calculations fate will do the rest.
Napoleon Bonaparte
You become strong by defying defeat and by turning loss into gain and failure to success.
Napoleon Bonaparte
When small men attempt great enterprises, they always end by reducing them to the level of their mediocrity.
Napoleon Bonaparte
