More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
To imagine that it is possible to perform great military deeds without fighting is just empty dreams.

Age, habits of business and experience have modified many characters.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In politics... never retreat, never retract... never admit a mistake.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
Read over and over again the campaigns of Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, Gustavus, Turenne, Eugene and Frederic. ... This is the only way to become a great general and master the secrets of the art of war.
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
A faithful friend is the true image of the Deity.
Napoleon Bonaparte
We should wash our dirty linen at home.
