With audacity one can undertake anything, but not do everything.

Napoleon

You can ask me for anything you like, except time.

Napoleon

A beautiful woman like eyes, and a good heart; One is a beautiful thing, and other treasures.

Napoleon

A commander in chief ought to say to himself several times a day: If the enemy should appear on my front, on my right, on my left, what would I do? And if the question finds him uncertain, he is not well placed, he is not as he should be, and he should remedy it.

Napoleon

A constitution should be framed so as not to impede the action of government, nor force the government to its violation.

Napoleon

A Constitution should be short and obscure.

Napoleon

A cowardly act! What do I care about that? You may be sure that I should never fear to commit one if it were to my advantage.
