Napoleon Bonaparte
Half of the people in the world are below average.
Napoleon Bonaparte
War is ninety percent information.
Napoleon Bonaparte
When you have resolved to fight a battle, collect your whole force. Dispense with nothing. A single battalion sometimes decides the day.
Napoleon Bonaparte

When a man is a favorite of Fortune she never takes him unawares, and, however astonishing her favors may be, she finds him ready.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
My success and everything good that I have done, I owe to my mother.
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
A King should sacrifice the best affections of his heart for the good of his country no sacrifice should be above his determination.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Those who failed to oppose me, who readily agreed with me, accepted all my views, and yielded easily to my opinions, were those who did me the most injury, and were my worst enemies, because, by surrendering to me so easily, they encouraged me to go too far... I was then too powerful for any man, except myself, to injure me.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
The most constant, the most powerful, and the most generous of all my enemies.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Being in the Tuileries is not everything: what matters is to stay here.
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
To a father who loves his children victor has no charms. When the heart speaks, glory itself is an illusion.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In these days the invention of printing, and the diffusion of knowledge, render historical calumnies a little less dangerous: truth will always prevail in the long run, but how slow its progress!
Napoleon Bonaparte
Public opinion is a mysterious and invisible power, to which everything must yield. There is nothing more fickle, more vague, or more powerful yet capricious as it is, it is nevertheless much more often true, reasonable, and just, than we imagine.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Human life is the only thing that takes care of itself.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The army is the true nobility of our country.
Napoleon Bonaparte
