Napoleon Bonaparte
There is no Nation however small which had the right to set itself free, that has not rescued itself from the dishonour of obeying the Prince imposed by an enemy in the hour of victory.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The most constant, the most powerful, and the most generous of all my enemies.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The people excited by ambitious demagogues, sooner or later return into the hands of the Aristocracy.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Space we can recover time never.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A well-composed song strikes the mind and softens the feelings, and produces a greater effect than a moral work, which convinces our reason, but does not warm our feelings, nor effect the slightest alteration in our habits
Napoleon Bonaparte
The implements to him who can handle them.
Napoleon Bonaparte
