"The secret of war lies in the..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

“A people which is able to say everything becomes able to do everything.”

“One must change one's tactics every ten years if one wishes to maintain one's superiority.”

“My business is to succeed, and I’m good at it. I create my Iliad by my actions, create it day by day.”

“If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it.”

“The secret to success: find out where people are going and get there first”

“Mass civil disobedience was for the attainment of independence.”

“All men have a feeling, that they would rather you told them a civil lie than give them a point blank refusal.... If you make a promise, the thing is still uncertain, depends on a future day, and concerns but few people; but if you refuse you alienate people to a certainty and at once, and many people too.”

“But a public oration is an escapade, a non-committal, an apology, a gag, and not a communication, not a speech, not a man.”

“A 'no' does not hide anything, but a 'yes' very easily becomes a deception.”
