"What is a throne? - a bit..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

“We are nothing but by the law.”

“If I always appear prepared, it is because before entering an undertaking, I have meditated long and have foreseen what might occur. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly and secretly what I should do in circumstances unexpected by others; it is thought and preparation”

“The allies we gain by victory will turn against us upon the bare whisper of our defeat.”

“You can't fool all of the people all of the time. But it isn't necessary.”

“An idea is, in the end, always stronger than circumstances.”

“Men such as they are, very naturally seek money or power; and power because it is as good as money.”

“I am your servant. You have the right to dismiss me when you please. What you have no right to do is ask me to bear responsibility without the power of action.”

“I'm going to try to unite all Americans.”

“There is nothing grand or noble in having the use of a slave, in so far as he is a slave; or in issuing commands about necessary things. But it is an error to suppose that every sort of rule is despotic like that of a master over slaves, for there is as great a difference between the rule over freemen and the rule over slaves as there is between slavery by nature and freedom by nature . .”
