<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Napoleon Bonaparte was one of the greatest military commanders and a risk-taking gambler.
\nHe climbed rank quickly in the armed forces due to his familial connections and his uncanny military knowledge, which he gained through dedicated reading. He also was influenced by the writings of Voltaire and did not practice much in the way of religion.
\nOne of the greatest military leaders in history and emperor of France, he conquered much of Europe. In the history of Europe and the world he is recorded as twice-emperor of France whose military endeavors and sheer personality dominated Europe in person for a decade, and in thought for a century.

A true man hates no one.<\/strong> There are only two forces that unite men – fear and interest.<\/strong> We must laugh at man to avoid crying for him.<\/strong> The act of policing is, in order to punish less often, to punish more severely.<\/strong> The herd seek out the great, not for their sake but for their influence; and the great welcome them out of vanity or need.<\/strong> In politics… never retreat, never retract… never admit a mistake.<\/strong> History is a set of lies agreed upon.<\/strong> I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love it as a musician loves his violin, to draw out its sounds and chords and harmonies.<\/strong> He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat.<\/strong> The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemies.<\/strong> Skepticism is a virtue in history as well as in philosophy.<\/strong> Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.<\/strong> When small men attempt great enterprises, they always end by reducing them to the level of their mediocrity.<\/strong> There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time.<\/strong> The truest wisdom is a resolute determination.<\/strong> You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war.<\/strong> Ability is nothing without opportunity.<\/strong> The surest way to remain poor is to be an honest man.<\/strong> Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.<\/strong> Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.<\/strong> England is a nation of shopkeepers.<\/strong> It requires more courage to suffer than to die.<\/strong> The human race is governed by its imagination.<\/strong> The people to fear are not those who disagree with you, but those who disagree with you and are too cowardly to let you know.<\/strong> A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.<\/strong> A leader is a dealer in hope.<\/strong> From the heights of these pyramids, forty centuries look down on us.<\/strong> The great proof of madness is the disproportion of one’s designs to one’s means.<\/strong> One must change one’s tactics every ten years if one wishes to maintain one’s superiority.<\/strong> Power is my mistress. I have worked too hard at her conquest to allow anyone to take her away from me.<\/strong> An army marches on its stomach.<\/strong> If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots.<\/strong> I am sometimes a fox and sometimes a lion. The whole secret of government lies in knowing when to be the one or the other.<\/strong> Men are moved by two levers only: fear and self interest.<\/strong> It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.<\/strong> Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools.<\/strong> The extent of your consciousness is limited only by your ability to love and to embrace with your love the space around you, and all it contains.<\/strong> The strong man is the one who is able to intercept at will the communication between the senses and the mind.<\/strong> All religions have been made by men.<\/strong> The French complain of everything, and always.<\/strong> In politics stupidity is not a handicap.<\/strong> Men are more easily governed through their vices than through their virtues.<\/strong> I can no longer obey; I have tasted command, and I cannot give it up.<\/strong> If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.<\/strong> With audacity one can undertake anything, but not do everything.<\/strong> You must not fear death, my lads; defy him, and you drive him into the enemy’s ranks.<\/strong> To do all that one is able to do, is to be a man; to do all that one would like to do, is to be a god.<\/strong> Water, air, and cleanness are the chief articles in my pharmacy.<\/strong> Among those who dislike oppression are many who like to oppress.<\/strong> Soldiers generally win battles; generals get credit for them.<\/strong> Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.<\/strong> Ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent.<\/strong> France has more need of me than I have need of France.<\/strong> Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them.<\/strong> The best way to keep one’s word is not to give it.<\/strong> In order to govern, the question is not to follow out a more or less valid theory but to build with whatever materials are at hand. The inevitable must be accepted and turned to advantage.<\/strong> Medicines are only fit for old people.<\/strong> He who knows how to flatter also knows how to slander.<\/strong> I have only one counsel for you – be master.<\/strong> If you wish to be a success in the world, promise everything, deliver nothing.<\/strong> Music is the voice that tells us that the human race is greater than it knows.<\/strong> One should never forbid what one lacks the power to prevent.<\/strong> Doctors will have more lives to answer for in the next world than even we generals.<\/strong> The best cure for the body is a quiet mind.<\/strong> Women are nothing but machines for producing children.<\/strong> A man cannot become an atheist merely by wishing it.<\/strong> There is no such thing as accident; it is fate misnamed.<\/strong> Ambition never is in a greater hurry that I; it merely keeps pace with circumstances and with my general way of thinking.<\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Napoleon Bonaparte was one of the greatest military commanders and a risk-taking gambler.
