"The most dangerous moment comes with victory...." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

“I closed the gulf of anarchy and brought order out of chaos. I rewarded merit regardless of birth or wealth, wherever I found it. I abolished feudalism and restored equality to all regardless of religion and before the law. I fought the decrepit monarchies of the Old Regime because the alternative was the destruction of all this. I purified the Revolution.”

“The laws of circumstance are abolished by new circumstances.”

“Conquest has made me what I am, only conquest can maintain me.”

“And above all you ought to guard against leading an army to fight which is afraid or which is not confident of victory. For the greatest sign of an impending loss is when one does not believe one can win.”

“Without training, they lacked knowledge. Without knowledge, they lacked confidence. Without confidence, they lacked victory.”

“My brave fellows, let no sensation of satisfaction for the triumphs you have gained induce you to insult your fallen enemy. Let no shouting, no clamorous huzzaing increase their mortification. It is sufficient for us that we witness their humiliation. Posterity will huzza for us.”

“A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.”

“The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic.”

“No misfortune is worse than underestimating the enemy. Underestimating the enemy, I risk losing my treasure.”
