More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
The basic principle that we must follow in directing the armies of the Republic is this: that they must feed themselves on war at the expense of the enemy territory.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Obedience to public authority ought not to be based either on ignorance or stupidity.

Napoleon Bonaparte
War is ninety percent information.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I have made noise enough in the world already, perhaps too much, and am now getting old, and want retirement.
Napoleon Bonaparte
In war, as in politics, no evil - even if it is permissible under the rules - is excusable unless it is absolutely necessary. Everything beyond that is a crime.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte
A man is not dependent upon his fellow creature, when he does not fear death.
Napoleon Bonaparte
If you wage war, do it energetically and with severity. This is the only way to make it shorter and consequently less inhuman.
Napoleon Bonaparte
When you have an enemy in your power, deprive him of the means of ever injuring you.
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
