That figure stood for a long time wholly in the light; this arose from a certain legendary dimness evolved by the majority of heroes, and which always veils the truth for a longer or shorter time; but to-day history and daylight have arrived.
That light called history is pitiless; it possesses this peculiar and divine quality, that, pure light as it is, and precisely because it is wholly light, it often casts a shadow in places where people had hitherto beheld rays; from the same man it constructs two different phantoms, and the one attacks the other and executes justice on it, and the shadows of the despot contend with the brilliancy of the leader. Hence arises a truer measure in the definitive judgments of nations. Babylon violated lessens Alexander, Rome enchained lessens Caesar, Jerusalem murdered lessens Titus, tyranny follows the tyrant. It is a misfortune for a man to leave behind him the night which bears his form. ~ Victor Hugo
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Victor Hugo
Sirs, if it were not for that one red spot I would have conquered the world!!! ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
There is only one thing in this world, and that is to keep acquiring money and more money, power and more power. All the rest is meaningless. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
All generals, officers, and soldiers who capitulate in battle to save their own lives should be decimated. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
Throw off your worries when you throw off your clothes at night. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
The English have no exaulted sentiments. They can all be bought. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
What we do not see, what most of us never suspect of existing, is the silent but irresistible power which comes to the rescue of those who fight on in the face of discouragement. ~ Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Hill
Every French soldier carriers a marshal's baton in his knapsack. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
Finally, he lifted his head slowly, got up and walked to the door. Then he turned around, came back, laid his hand on my shoulder and said, 'My boy, you will need much courage if you remain steadfast in carrying out your purpose in life. But remember, when difficulties overtake you, the common people have common sense. Adversity will develop it. ~ Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Hill
If the thing you wish to do is right, and you believe in it, go ahead and do it! ~ Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Hill
The inevitable fate of large groups is to perish because of lack of unity. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
The man who can follow a leader most efficiently, is usually the man who develops into leadership most rapidly. An intelligent follower has many advantages, among them the opportunity to acquire knowledge from his leader. The ~ Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Hill
Much of the attraction of the cult has to do with the grace of an early and romantic death. George Orwell once observed that if Napoleon Bonaparte had been cut down by a musket ball as he entered Moscow, he would have been remembered as the greatest general since Alexander. And not only did Guevara die before his ideals did, he died in such a manner as to inspire something akin to superstition. He rode among the poor of the altiplano on a donkey. He repeatedly foresaw and predicted the circumstances of his own death. He was spurned and betrayed by those he claimed to set free. He was by calling a healer of the sick. The photographs of his corpse, bearded and half-naked and lacerated, make an irresistible comparison with paintings of the deposition from Calvary. There is a mystery about his last resting place. Alleged relics are in circulation. There have even been sightings ... . ~ Christopher Hitchens
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Christopher Hitchens
Denied a Lenin and deprived of Napoleon, France retreated into the last and, we must hope, indestructible redoubt, the world of Astérix. The postwar vogue for Parisian thinkers barely concealed their collective retreat into Hexagonal introversion and into the ultimate fortress of French intellectuality, Cartesian theory and puns. ~ Eric J. Hobsbawm
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Eric J. Hobsbawm
He loaded his soldiers into boats, sailed to the enemy's country, unloaded soldiers and equipment, then gave the order to burn the ships that had carried them. Addressing his men before the first battle, he said, "You see the boats going up in smoke. That means that we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win! We now have no choice - we win, or we perish! They won. Every ~ Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Hill
We are creatures of imitation. We find it hard to resist the temptation to do that which we see others doing. ~ Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Hill
The only limitation is that which one sets up in one's own mind. ~ Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Hill
The starting point of all individual achievement is the adoption of a definite major purpose and a specific plan for its attainment. 22. ~ Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Hill
All achievement, no matter what may be its nature, or its purpose, must begin with an intense, burning desire for something definite. ~ Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Hill
What did Danton lose his head for, or why was there a Napoleon, if it wasn't to make a nobility of us all? ~ Saul Bellow
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Saul Bellow
Everyone who has changed the course of human history, every last one was able to do so only because he was ready for his destiny. That's true of Moses and the Buddha, Napoleon and Bismarck. The wave that carries us, the star that guides us - we cannot choose it. ~ Hermann Hesse
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Hermann Hesse
When we set about accounting for a Napoleon or a Shakespeare or a Raphael or a Wagner or an Edison or other extraordinary person, we understand that the measure of his talent will not explain the whole result, nor even the largest part of it; no, it is the atmosphere in which the talent was cradled that explains; it is the training it received while it grew, the nurture it got from reading, study, example, the encouragement it gathered from self-recognition and recognition from the outside at each stage of its development: when we know all these details, then we know why the man was ready when his opportunity came. ~ Mark Twain
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Mark Twain
IF - and this is the greatest of them all - I had the courage to see myself as I reallyam, I would find out what is wrong with me, and correct it, then I might have a chance to profit by my mistakes and learn something from the experience of others,for I know that there is something WRONG with me, or I would now be where I WOULD HAVE BEEN IF I had spent more time analyzing my weaknesses, and less time building alibis to cover them. ~ Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Hill
The merit of Mahomet is that he founded a religion without an inferno. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
There are so many laws that no one is safe from hanging. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
In politics nothing is immutable. Events carry within them an invincible power. The unwise destroy themselves in resistance. The skillful accept events, take strong hold of them and direct them. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
Washington was a typical American. Napoleon was a typical Frenchman, but Lincoln was a humanitarian as broad as the world. He was bigger than his country - bigger than all the Presidents together.
We are still too near to his greatness,' (Leo) Tolstoy (in 1908) concluded, 'but after a few centuries more our posterity will find him considerably bigger than we do. His genius is still too strong and powerful for the common understanding, just as the sun is too hot when its light beams directly on us.' (748) ~ Doris Kearns Goodwin
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Doris Kearns Goodwin
I have fought sixty battles, and I have learnt nothing which I did not know at the beginning. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
The storm of revolution,' as Andre Chenier said, 'blows out the torch of poetry.' It is not for some little time that the real influence of such a wild cataclysm of things is felt: at first the desire for equality seems to have produced personalities of more giant and Titan stature than the world had ever known before. Men heard the lyre of Byron and the legions of Napoleon; it was a period of measureless passions and of measureless despair; ambition, discontent, were the chords of life and art; the age was an age of revolt: a phase through which the human spirit must pass, but one in which it cannot rest. For the aim of culture is not rebellion but peace, the valley perilous where ignorant armies clash by night being no dwelling-place meet for her to whom the gods have assigned the fresh uplands and sunny heights and clear, untroubled air. And soon that desire for perfection, which lay at the base of the Revolution, found in a young English poet its most complete and flawless realisation. ~ Oscar Wilde
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Oscar Wilde
This is based on Sauce Américaine. A classic French sauce, its recipe calls for crushed lobster shells and meat crushed together.
And then there's its rich, woody fragrance. I know what it's from now! COGNAC!" *Cognac is a variety of brandy made in Cognac, France. There are many strict requirements the brandy must meet in order to be considered an official cognac.*
"I see! When brandy is aged, it absorbs the scents of the wooden casks in which it's stored! That's why this curry has such a strong bouquet of woody aromas... like sandalwood and cedar!"
"Yup! That's right, sir. By the way, for this dish I experimented a little...
... and used Napoleon-Grade Cognac, which has even richer scents.
There are several grades of cognac, depending on how long it is aged. Napoleon Grade is considered the highest. ~ Yuto Tsukuda
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Yuto Tsukuda
If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self. ~ Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Hill
Through some strange and powerful principle of mental chemistry which she has never divulged, nature wraps up in the impulse of strong desire, that something which recognizes no such word as impossible, and accepts no such reality as failure. ~ Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Hill
In political administration, no problem is ever simple. It can never be reduced to the question whether a certain measure is good or not. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
I marvel that whereas the ambitious dreams of my self, Caesar, and Alexander should have vanished into thin air, a Judean peasant-Jesus-s hould be able to stretch His hands across the centuries and control the destinies of men and nations. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
Across the chasm of eighteen hundred years Jesus Christ makes a demand which is beyond all others difficult to satisfy. He asks that for which a philosopher may often seek in vain at the hands of his friends, or a father of his children, or a bride of her spouse, or a man of his brother. He asks for the human heart; he will have it entirely to himself; he demands it unconditionally, and forthwith his demand is granted. Wonderful! ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
A philosophy a system of principles that will guide your thoughts and actions. ~ Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Hill
Somehow the Creator seems to favor those who know precisely what they want and what they do not want. ~ Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Hill
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize. ~ Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Hill
The bed has become a place of luxury to me! I would not exchange it for all the thrones in the world ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
The nature of strategy consists of always having, even with a weaker army, more forces at the point of attack or at the point where one is being attacked than the enemy. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
So you think the police foresees and knows everything. The police invents more than it discovers. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Boneparte quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
That the quality of service you render, plus the quantity, plus the mental attitude in which you render it determines the sort of job you hold and the amount of pay you receive. - NAPOLEON HILL ~ Napoleon Hill
