More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The best generals are those who have served in the artillery.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I have come to realise that men are not born to be free.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Tragedy warms the soul, elevates the heart, can and ought to create heroes. In this sense, perhaps, France owes a part of her great actions to Corneille.

Napoleon Bonaparte
How can you have order in a state without religion? For, when one man is dying of hunger near another who is ill of surfeit, he cannot resign himself to this difference unless there is an authority which declares 'God wills it thus.' Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.
Napoleon Bonaparte
What my enemies call a general peace is my destruction. What I call peace is merely the disarmament of my enemies. Am I not more moderate than they?
Napoleon Bonaparte
Do you wish to find out the really sublime? Repeat the Lord's Prayer.
Napoleon Bonaparte
History paints the human heart.
Napoleon Bonaparte
International incidents must not be allowed to shape foreign policy, foreign policy must shape the incidents.

Wherever wood can swim, there I am sure to find this flag of England.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Charges of cavalry are equally useful at the beginning, the middle and the end of a battle. They should be made always, if possible, on the flanks of the infantry, especially when the latter is engaged in front.
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
When your enemy is doing something wrong, do not interrupt him.
Napoleon Bonaparte
We are either kings or pawns of men
Napoleon Bonaparte
The Bible is no mere book, but a Living Creature, with a power that conquers all that oppose it.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A good sketch is better than a long speech.
