"It strengthens the bonds between nations to..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

“History is written by the winners.”

“One might as well try to charge through a wall.”

“Cossacks are the best light troops among all that exist. If I had them in my army, I would go through all the world with them.”

“The popular masses are like water, and the army is like a fish. How then can it be said that when there is water, a fish will have difficulty in preserving its existence? An army which fails to maintain good discipline gets into opposition with the popular masses, and thus by its own action dries up the water.”

“I was youand never knew it.”

“We are defined not by our borders but by our bonds.”

“Such is the moral construction of the world that no national crime passes unpunished in the long run... Were present oppressors to reflect on the same truth, they would spare to their own countries the penalties on their present wrongs which will be inflicted on them in future times. The seeds of hatred and revenge which they sow with a large hand will not fail to produce their fruits in time. Like their brother robbers on the highway, they suppose the escape of the moment a final escape and deem infamy and future risk countervailed by present gain.”

“Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth ever afterward resumes its liberty.”

“This accession of territory affirms forever the power of the United States, and I have given England a maritime rival who sooner or later will humble her pride.”
