"You can do anything with bayonets except..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

“True heroism consists in being superior to the ills of life, in whatever shape they may challenge us to combat.”

“I have destroyed the enemy merely by marches.”

“In revolution there are only two sorts of men, those who cause them and those who profit by them.”

“Government today is growing too strong to be safe. There are no longer any citizens in the world there are only subjects. They work day in and day out for their masters they are bound to die for their masters at call. Out of this working and dying they tend to get less and less.”

“Diplomacy is the police in grand costume.”

“Painting isn't a question of sensibility; it's a matter of seizing the power, taking over from nature, not expecting her to supply you with information and good advice.”

“You can not lead a battle if you think you look silly on a horse.”

“Charges of cavalry are equally useful at the beginning, the middle and the end of a battle. They should be made always, if possible, on the flanks of the infantry, especially when the latter is engaged in front.”

“...every offensive lost its force as it proceeded. It was like throwing a bucket of water over the floor. It first rushed forward, then soaked forward, and finally stopped altogether until another bucket could be brought.”
