Napoleon Bonaparte

You don't reason with intellectuals. You shoot them.

From the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step.

That is worthy of me.

Hats off gentlemen! Were this man still alive, I would not be here today.

I have my own.

Please, no jokes!

The word impossible is not French.

I awoke full of you. Your image and the intoxicating pleasures of last night have left my senses no rest.

I hope before long to crush you in my arms and cover you with a million kisses burning as though beneath the equator.

Till then, a thousand kisses… but give me none back for they set my blood on fire.

They say that you are as fat as a good Normandy farmeress.

What on earth have I done to think only of you to love only Josephine to live only for my wife to enjoy happiness only with my dear.

I generally had to give in. I never was truly my own master but was always ruled by circumstances.

A woman laughing is a woman conquered.

My mistresses do not in the least engage my feelings. Power is my mistress.

This soldier, I realized, must have had friends at home and in his regiment; yet he lay there deserted by all except his dog.

If a woman abandoned her marital home, how can we compel her to reintegrate it?

Either you're crazy, or I am!

Both, sir!

The only conquests which are permanent are those achieved over ignorance.
