More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
You must not fear death, my lads defy him, and you drive him into the enemy's ranks.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
Public opinion is the thermometer a monarch should constantly consult.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The conscience is the sacred haven of the liberty of man.

Napoleon Bonaparte
Few really believe. The most only believe that they believe or even make believe.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The act of policing is, in order to punish less often, to punish more severely.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Nothing is more destructive than the charge of artillery on a crowd.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Do you wish to find out the really sublime? Repeat the Lord's Prayer.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Nothing makes the future look so rosy as to contemplate it through a glass of Chambertin.
