More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
If it had not been for the English I should have been emperor of the East, but wherever there is water to float a ship we are sure to find them in our way.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Liberty is a need felt by a small class of people whom nature has endowed with nobler minds than the mass of men.... Consequently, it may be repressed with impunity. Equality, on the other hand, pleases the masses.
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

I would believe any religion that could prove it had existed since the beginning of the world. But when I see Socrates, Plato, Moses, and Mohammed I do not think there is such a one. All religions owe their origin to man.
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.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A nation recruits men more easily than it can retrieve its honour.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Show me a family of readers, and I will show you the people who move the world.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It is not set speeches at the moment of battle that render soldiers brave.
