More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
The purely defensive is doomed to defeat.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Force is the law of animals, men are ruled by conviction.
Napoleon Bonaparte
My enemies make appointments at my tomb.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In Russia there are no roads - only areas.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The gospel is not a book it is a living being, with an action, a power, which invades every thing that opposes its extension, behold! It is upon this table: This book, surpassing all others. I never omit to read it, and every day with some pleasure.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A revolution is an idea which has found its bayonets.
Napoleon Bonaparte
