More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
I have noticed in every campaign that I have fought-that there is a key segment of time, somewhere between 13 and 15 minutes in which the battle is won or lost. I focus on that segment of time, and I win.
Napoleon Bonaparte
France always has plenty men of talent, but it is always deficient in men of action and high character.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The only true conquests-those that awaken no regrets- are those obtained over our ignorance.
Napoleon Bonaparte
When I was happy I thought I knew men, but it was fated that I should know them in misfortune only.
Napoleon Bonaparte
