More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
An Emperor confides in national soldiers, not in mercenaries.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It should not be believed that a march of three or four days in the wrong direction can be corrected by a countermarch. As a rule, this is to make two mistakes instead of one.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Give me an educated mother, I shall promise you the birth of a civilized, educated nation
Napoleon Bonaparte
Soldiers! Here is the battle you have so long desired! Henceforth victory depends on you we have need of it.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The first quality of the commander-in-chief is a cool head to receive a correct impression of things. He should not allow himself to be confused by either good or bad news.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Kiss the feet of Popes provided their hands are tied.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The keys of a fortress are always well worth the retirement of the garrison when it is resolved to yield only on those conditions. On this principle it is always wiser to grant an honorable capitulation to a garrison which has made a vigorous resistance than to risk an assault.
Napoleon Bonaparte
We walk faster when we walk alone.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I marvel that whereas the ambitious dreams of my self, Caesar, and Alexander should have vanished into thin air, a Judean peasant-Jesus-s hould be able to stretch His hands across the centuries and control the destinies of men and nations.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
Machiavelli is right: one always must live with one's friends with the idea that they may turn into one's enemies. He should have said, with everyone.
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
Much shedding of blood, many great actions, and triumphs, toil and perseverance are the end of all things human.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I haven't known 6 days of happiness in my life.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Men are led by trifles.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Music is the voice that tells us that the human race is greater than it knows.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The inevitable end of multiple chiefs is that they fade and disappear for lack of unity.
Napoleon Bonaparte
What I have done up to this is nothing. I am only at the beginning of the course I must run. Do you imagine that I triumph in Italy in order to aggrandise the pack of lawyers who form the Directory, and men like Carnot and Barras? What an idea!
Napoleon Bonaparte
A true master of politics is able to calculate, down to the smallest fraction, the advantages to which he may put his very faults.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The fate of a battle is the result of a moment, of a thought: the hostile forces advance with various combinations, they attack each other and fight for a certain time the critical moment arrives, a mental flash decides, and the least reserve accomplishes the object.
