More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
Strategy is the art of making use of time and space. I am less concerned about the later than the former. Space we can recover, lost time never.
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
There is only one thing in this world, and that is to keep acquiring money and more money, power and more power. All the rest is meaningless.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Remember, gentlemen, what a Roman emperor said: The corpse of an enemy always smells sweet.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It is often in the audacity, in the steadfastness, of the general that the safety and the conservation of his men is found.
