More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
It is not by whining that one carries out the job of king.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I know men, and I tell you, Jesus is more than a man. Comparison is impossible between Him and any other human being who ever lived, because He was the Son of God.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Men who have changed the world never achieved their success by winning the chief citizens to their side, but always by stirring the masses.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Lack is more in means, than in principles.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
Between a battle lost and a battle won, the distance is immense and there stand empires.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded his empire upon love and at this hour millions of men would die for him.
Napoleon Bonaparte
For the stability of the Government, the people should have a considerable voice in the elections.
Napoleon Bonaparte
More glorious to merit a sceptre than to possess one.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The French complain of everything, and always.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I have made noise enough in the world already, perhaps too much, and am now getting old, and want retirement.
Napoleon Bonaparte
People take England on trust, and repeat that Shakespeare is the greatest of all authors. I have read him: there is nothing that compares Racine or Corneille: his plays are unreadable, pitiful.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is not a man. Superficial minds see a resemblance between Christ and the founders of empires, and the gods of other religions. That resemblance does not exist. There is between Christianity and whatever other religions the distance of infinity.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Against attempts on my life, I trust in my luck, my good genius, and my guards.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I am surrounded by priests who repeat incessantly that their kingdom is not of this world, and yet they lay their hands on everything they can get.
Napoleon Bonaparte
