More quotes by 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
Show me a family of readers, and I will show you the people who move the world.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Kiss the feet of Popes provided their hands are tied.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The nature of Christ's existence is mysterious, I admit but this mystery meets the wants of man. Reject it, and the world is an inexplicable riddle believe it, and the history of our race is satisfactorily explained.
Napoleon Bonaparte

The greater the man, the less is he opinionative, he depends upon events and circumstances.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Give me an educated mother, I shall promise you the birth of a civilized, educated nation
Napoleon Bonaparte
Power is founded upon opinion.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Neglect of duty does not cease, by repetition, to be neglect of duty.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The mind of a general ought to resemble and be as clear as the field-glass of a telescope.
Napoleon Bonaparte
You can do anything with bayonets except sit on them
Napoleon Bonaparte
The conscience is the sacred haven of the liberty of man.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Envy is a declaration of inferiority.
