Napoleon Bonaparte

Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.

Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

A leader has the right to be beaten, but never the right to be surprised.

Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
Napoleon Bonaparte - last words, 1821
Chief of the Army.

In politics, absurdity is not a handicap.

Men will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.

History is a set of lies agreed upon.

Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.

It requires more courage to suffer than to die.

Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.

Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.

Victory belongs to the most persevering.

Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in.

History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.

There are only two forces in the world, the sword and the spirit. In the long run the sword will always be conquered by the spirit.
Napoleon Bonaparte - 1802
What a beautiful fix we are in now; peace has been declared.

Ability is of little account without opportunity.

[Medicine is] a collection of uncertain prescriptions the results of which, taken collectively, are more fatal than useful to mankind.
